I'm really liking making these accordion swing cards... You can see the first one HERE, with the option of a free download.

I'm also using bits and pieces of several stamps and an eCut from Quietfire Design

 

I eCut all the elements for the swing card from white cardstock and scrapbook papers. adhered and assembled everything. The connecting pieces this time are Spellbinder's ovals instead of chain links.

The flourish heart pieces are die cuts (Memory Box) which I had laying on my desk, cut from white cardstock and then I embossed with Pearl White Lustre embossing powder. Trimmed down.

The flowers are again white cardstock which I swiped a Distress pad "Picked Raspberry" over it, then punched (EK Success) out the floral shapes. I used a large balled stylus and some craft foam to shape the petals, then adhered 3 of them together at the center. Added a large glob of white glue and pressed Flower Soft "Sunshine Yellow" to the centers.

Stamped the various words/quotes with Versafine Black Onyx. eCut the HB2U letters from white cardstock, colored with black ink and embossed with black embossing powder.

For the front piece I stamped the quote on a precut piece of white Shrink Plastic with the black, punched a couple large holes and heat activated. Used a Krylon Gold Leafing pen on the edges, then adhered this to a piece of white cardstock using Golden's extra heavy gel medium. Attached the small copper brads then adhered it to my card front.

As a final touch added some white half pearls and a pink rhinestone dragonfly.
