Hi Crafty Friends!
For my card today I have used a technique demonstrated by Jennifer McGuire and her recent video about sentiment stamping techniques. I love the
font and range of sentiments with the Beary Big Heart Set (HDS, SSS, ATC)
and though immediately that this set would be perfect to create a
striking sentiment background! With Valentine's Day coming up - well it
just all came together with this gorgeous set!
I
began the card with a white smooth cardstock base-piece. I used the
sentiments from the set placing them on my acrylic block in two rows "I
(heart) U Be Mine" and "Happy Valentine's Day". I then stamped this in
black Versafine Ink (SSS, ATC)
(starting in the middle and working up and down) slightly moving the
acrylic block over each time. Once this was done, I used the sentiments
separately to "fill the gaps". I trimmed this piece and used a small
corner rounder (SSS)
to round the corners (to echo the look of the rounded edges of the
heart and little bear) and attached to my black card-base (also with
rounded edges).
I
then stamped the bear from Bearly Big Heart and die cut a heart from
red glitter paper. I coloured the bear (except the heart) with copics
and added detail with a white gel pen. I fussy cut the bear out and cut
away the heart so that I could substitute it with my die-cut glitter
heart.
I cut a small rectangle of Vellum (SSS)
and rounded the edges and adhered to the background piece. I adhered
the bear and heart with 3d foam. No sentiment required as the background
piece says it all!!
Thanks for visiting my blog today and I will see you next time!
