It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a card with you! This week's team focus is Valentine's Day.
Here's my card created with Lavinia Stamps' Background Script with Hearts Clear Polymer Stamp, their Heart Small Clear Polymer Stamp, their Texture 2 Clear Polymer Stamp, their Heartfelt Verses Clear Polymer Stamp Set, Spun Candy, Pink Elephant, Confetti, and Emperor Red Elements Inks. I also used the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle, Nocturne and Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, and the Glitz Spritz Spray Set by Lindy's Gang.
Use a blending brush to apply Spun Candy Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps to a 9" x 6" panel of Mixed Media paper. When there's no more ink on the brush, lightly brush Pink Elephant Elements Ink around the edges towards the center of the panel, blending as you go. Finish the ink application by brushing Confetti Elements Ink overtop.
Use a Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir to mist with water which will add mottling and spotting to the panel, then heat set it. Cut the panel in half to yield two 4.5" x 6" panels.
Place one of the inked panels onto the base of a stamping platform and secure with magnets and/or low-tack tape. Place the Background Script with Hearts Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown in the center of the panel. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression. Remove the stamped background panel from the platform and heat set.
Cut the remaining 4.5" x 6" panel to yield a 2.5" x 6" panel and a 2" x 6" panel. Secure the 2.5" wide panel to the base of the stamping platform. Place the Heart Small Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown on the top of the panel. Ink it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Flip the panel 180°, ink the Heart Stamp again, and stamp. Remove the panel from the platform and heat set.
Secure the 2" wide panel to the base of the stamping platform. Place the Texture 2 Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown on the panel. Ink it with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Flip the panel 180°, ink the Texture 2 Stamp again, and stamp. Remove the panel and heat set.
Place all four panels into a box. Lightly spray Brushed Nickel Glitz Spritz from the Glitz Spritz Spray Set by Lindy's Gang onto all four panels. Heat set.
Smoosh the Emperor Red Elements Ink pad onto a craft mat. Use a waterbrush or small paintbrush to color the hearts on the stamped Background Script with Hearts panel. Use an A6 Rectangle Die to cut the panel, then edge it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.
Secure the Background Script with Hearts panel die-cut to the base of a stamping platform. Place the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment stamp from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle facedown on the bottom of the panel as shown. Ink the stamp with VersaMark Ink and stamp. Ink the stamp with Emperor Red Elements Ink and stamp. Remove the die-cut from the stamping platform. Add clear detail embossing powder to the wet ink, dump the excess back into its container, and heat set.
Use a Flag Die to cut the 2" x 6" panel that was stamped with the Texture 2 Clear Polymer Stamp. Edge the flag die-cut with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and adhere the stamped flag to the Background Script with Hearts panel die-cut.
Fussy-cut both hearts and edge them with a black pen. Use a red glitter pen to add red to the hearts. Adhere the fussy-cut hearts to the flag die as shown.
Secure the leftover piece of inked Mixed Media paper onto the base of a stamping platform. Place the "With Love and Sympathy" sentiment stamp facedown onto the paper. Lift the platform's lid. Cover the words "with" and "and Sympathy" with Post-It Notes. Ink the stamp with VersaMark ink, remove the Post-It Notes, and stamp the word "Love". Place the Post-It Notes back over the same words again. Ink the "Love" stamp with Emperor Red Elements Ink, and stamp. Remove the stamped piece from the stamping platform, add clear detail embossing powder to the wet ink, dump the excess back into its container, and heat set. Use a small flag die to cut the sentiment, edge it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink, and adhere it between the hearts on the cardfront as shown.
Use small gear dies to cut black metallic cardstock. Adhere the gears to the top of the flag then add small red rhinestones to their centers.
Cut a piece of black metallic cardstock with the next largest die from the A6 Rectangle Die set and use to mat the cardfront/image panel die-cut. Adhere to a red A6 card.
