Much Loved

Morning
Hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day.

So meet today's simple card.  
I wanted to ink this stamp up with some non-traditional colours and give it a bit of a different look.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • Like I mentioned above, I wanted to give these little hearts a more unique look, so I rubbed some Distress Oxide inks (Twisted Citron, Dusty Concord, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn) onto my TH Glass mat, sprayed with a bit of water and used that as my stamp pad, dragging the stamp through the wet ink
  • I pressed the stamp onto my piece of white cardstock and left it there for a bit to give the inks time to soak into the cs.  I loved the look of the hearts when I lifted the stamp off.
  • When it was dry, I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.  I find the embossing makes for a bolder, better look to the sentiment.
  • To give the panel more interest, I die cut it using this scalloped and stitched edge die.
  • I glued it onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto a white card base.
  • Lastly, I added 3 black gems to match the black sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Another great idea with the multi colour inks which you have picked up on your stamp and it has stamped brilliantly Karen. I love the stitched scallop edged mat with lovely purple behind which shows this off so prettily. x

Ohhhhh - love this - it's so pretty yet sort of grungy and textural all at the same time. An awesome card Karen
