Here is a fun and unique way to use the Basic Borders dies (#155558).
I used a white on white card concept. Basic white Card base and a second piece of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ Basic White cardstock. Using the cloud border die I cut the image upside down from the top of the extra piece.

Placing the die right side up about an inch below the first die cut, I cut a second cloud image across the sheet of cardstock. This creates three sections for this 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece. Remove and save the the middle section to use as a mask for the next step.
Using Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush, create cloud images on the upper portion of the base card using the middle section as a mask. Brush in a circular motion around the cloud edge of the cardstock. Move slightly up and down and left and right to create a bank of clouds.
Adhere Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper die cut and adhere tot he base card lining up the upper corners.
Adhere Stampin’ Dimensionals to the lower die cut section and lining up the bottom corners adhere to the card base.
This creates a split card with depth and dimension and a pattern underneath creating an easy and stunning effect!
I added die cuts from the Sweet Hearts dies part of the Sweet Conversations Bundle and added pearls and Wink of Stella for the bling!
I love this non traditional Valentines Day card and thanks to fellow demonstrator – Mikaela T. for sharing the card inspiration that inspired this idea!
Hoping this inspires your Valentine’s Day card making it is right around the corner. Now go create your own art – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
