Happy World Cardmaking Day!
This morning I am being inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast and a Pinterest board called 'Hearts'. I liked this pin of a sweet heart gem:
I began by stamping the sentiment from STAMPlorations and cut a mask to cover it. Next, I stenciled using the Circle Tile stencil from Stencil Girl using Distress inks. To add depth and interest, I splattered water over the background while leaving the stencil in place. Since Distress inks are water based, some of the colour is removed leaving an interesting pattern behind.
I removed the mask and added the heart gem.
A very clean and simple card.
I am adding my card to these challenges:

Oh, Karen, what a fabulous background, and I love the grid and the circles combined! And the sprinkles of water add just the right touch! Stunning, my friend! Hugs!
