It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi to share a project with you. This week's theme over at the Topflight Stamps blog is "Anything Goes". I'm stuck on Valentine's Day and have created two cards for the holiday using my new Arty Hearts Collage Red Rubber Cling Stamp and Arty Hearts Collage Small Stencil by Darkroom Door.
Here they are!
These cards are a bit of a departure for me as there's no coloring, no masking, and no fussy-cutting.
The Arty Hearts Collage Red Rubber Cling Stamp was stamped with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts for both cards since it yields a rich dark black and handles fine detailed stamps beautifully.
A panel of 140 lb. Mixed Media cardstock was brushed with Confetti and Emperor Red Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps. A baby wipe was used to blend the colors on the panel, misted with water, and heat set.
Using a stamping platform, the Arty Hearts Collage Red Rubber Cling Stamp was stamped onto the inked background with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts.
Water and a paint brush were used to remove ink from each of the hearts. The coordinating Arty Hearts Collage Small Stencil by Darkroom Door was placed over the hearts and the hearts were watercolored with diluted Raspberry Infusions by PaperArtsy, diluted Crimson and Brilliant Red Brusho Crystal Colors by Colourcraft. Pink Jellybean, Dusky Rose, and Red Brick Prism Inks by Hunkydory Crafts and Emperor Red and Confetti Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were all smooshed onto a craft mat, misted with water, and painted onto the hearts.
When all the hearts were painted, the panel was heat set, trimmed, edged with black Distress ink, matted with black cardstock, and adhered to a red A2 card.
Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts was used to stamp the sentiment from the ever useful Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle onto a left over piece of inked cardstock. This was heat set, cut with a die, edged with black ink, and adhered at the top of the card.
The kraft card was really quick to create. Using a stamping platform, the Arty Hearts Collage Red Rubber Cling Stamp was stamped onto a panel of kraft cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts, then heat set.
The coordinating Arty Hearts Collage Small Stencil by Darkroom Door was placed over the hearts on the kraft panel. Dusky Rose, Red Brick, Red Chili, Smoked Paprika, and Cherry Walnut Prism Inks by Hunkydory Crafts and Emperor Red and Paprika Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were all smooshed onto a craft mat, misted with water, and painted onto the hearts. Sadly, a some ink seeped under the stencil, so I brushed the Emperor Red and Paprika Elements Inks across the panel to camouflage my mistake. The panel was trimmed and edged with Emperor Red Elements Ink.
Using a stamping platform, Emperor Red Elements Ink was used to stamp the Herringbone Texture Red Rubber Cling Stamp by Darkroom Door repeatedly over a 4" x 5.25" piece of kraft cardstock. When done, the panel was edged with the same red ink and adhered to a kraft A2 card.

Clever thinking and admitting your artsy errors and then showing how you corrected them! Love it and I have been there myself. Time to start my Valentine Makes! I need to get more use out of my Fusions and you've given me some ideas, Kathi. Merci!
