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.

Love is in the air as Valentine's Day approaches.

Today, I am playing with the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Love Loops.

So fun to easily create a background using it.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock for my card front.  I place it onto my Stencil Mat and positioned the Love Loops stencil over it.  Using some Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink, I rubbed over just the center area with a blending brush.  
• When I was happy with the red blend, I took some Picked Raspberry and blended out the rest of the panel around the edges.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I stenciled an extra little heart with the same stencil and some more of the Candied Apple, then fussy cut it out.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a white card base.
• I die cut this new to me sentiment 3 times, glued them together then onto my card front.
• I pop dotted the little heart I had cut out under the sentiment.
