Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card I made to give to a wonderful friend for Valentine's Day! I've used the fun stencil set, Hearts In Bloom, along with the Great Greetings: Love die set as well as some other fabulous sets!
First I created the background with the Hearts In Bloom stencil set. There are four fabulous layers to this stencil set. I used some Distress Oxide Inks with blending brushes to color through stencils one through three. I used these colors: Festive Berries, Picked Raspberries, Spun Sugar.
I know it's hard to tell from the photos, but I used texture paste tinted with a drop of Mowed Lawn Distress Ink re-inker and spread that through the fourth stencil with the leaves. In real life, it's a subtle texture both visually and tactilely. I love it!
When the paste was dry, I glued the panel to an A2 card base.
For the other card elements, here is a list of the sets I used, with a few details:
- Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery: Leafy branches colored with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide
- Bold Backgrounds: Vines Of Love: I used the small heart dies cut from cardstock colored with Festive Berries Distress Oxide
- Floral Heart 3D Embossing Folder & Coordinating Die Set: I die cut vellum with the heart die
Now for the sentiments! True story--in 2016 my husband and I met a couple while we were on a trip in Italy. The connection was real and a life-long friendship was born! We all travel together and do girls trips every year!
That's why I chose these two sentiment sets! First I blended some Festive Berries Oxide onto white cardstock. Then I die cut the XOXO from the Great Greetings: Love die set. I also die cut it from white cardstock four times to layer up the sentiment.
The second sentiment is from the Love You, Friend stamp set. After I stamped it with Festive Berries Oxide ink, I cut it out with the coordinating die.
Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, this is an awesome card to give to your special friend any time!
