It's All in the Details

As you probably know, I mostly like to make simple, easily-reproducible cards.  Lately I have been having fun doing more-detailed cards though!  I should be getting ready for my card camp and scrap camp that are Friday, but I cannot resist a good challenge!  I found two that paired together really nicely.  Stampin' Royalty  had a great picture inspiration and Try Stampin' On Tuesday had a nice layout that worked perfectly with the idea I had in mind!

 
I fell in love with the newspaper print, hearts, colors and banners and thought the combination would make great banners on the diagonal lines of the sketch.  I had so much fun embellishing this card! 
 
 
It looks really busy but it is actually two parts.  I wanted the recipient of the card to be able to see all of the banners, so the ribbon with the heart slides off for the card to be opened. 
 
Here are the two parts to the card:
 
 
 
I had a lot of fun stamping and punching all of the little details on this card.  Then I went back and added some pearls and rhinestones. I'm not used to doing all of this detailed embellishment so it was fun for a change.  I wouldn't want to do it all of the time though.  I love me some stress-free stamping!
 
This card also fits the challenge of banners over at The Paper Players.  Yeah, I've got a few banners on there! LOL!
