Lovebirds XOXOXO

 It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. It's an "Anything Goes" week and I've made yet another Valentine's Day card with the Funky Pigeons Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Hobby Art, Ltd., the Heart Layered Stencils/Masks by Studio Light, the Ink Drops - Candy Patterned Paper Pad by Craft ConsortiumStrawberry VersaFine Clair Ink, and a sentiment from the JM 20 Mini Love Birds Cling Mounted Stamp Set by JOFY for PaperArtsy.

Here it is!


Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the pigeon pair from the Funky Pigeons Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Hobby Art, Ltd. twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper.

Color the Funky Pigeons pair with Copic markers, fussy-cut the sticker paper version, and place it over its counterpart as a mask. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally across the pigeon's feet to mask them. Sponge or brush grey ink over the masked pigeons. Set the pigeon panel aside.

Use StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the polaroid frame from the Funky Pigeons Clear Polymer Stamp Set onto a piece of predominantly red patterned paper from the Ink Drops - Candy Patterned Paper Pad by Craft Consortium. Fussy-cut the outside of the frame. Use a craft knife to cut out the inside of the frame. Use StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink to edge the exterior and interior of the polaroid frame. 

Place the Heart Layered Stencils/Masks by Studio Light over the fussy-cut frame. Brush StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the frame. Move the stencil and continue to brush ink over the stencil until you're happy with the amount of hearts on the frame.

Adhere the Funky Pigeons image panel behind the stenciled and fussy-cut frame and set aside.

Use a heart die to cut a heart from the top left of the remaining piece of patterned paper left over from the frame. Place a piece of low-tack tape over the back of the heart-shaped aperture in the patterned paper. Place the heart die-cut onto the tape. 

Place the piece of the patterned paper onto a stamping platform. Position the "lovebirds" stamp from theJM 20 Mini Love Birds Cling Mounted Stamp Set by JOFY for PaperArtsy facedown onto the heart. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Edge the heart with Strawberry VersaFine Clair Ink, then use a black pen to edge it again.

Take a piece of the same patterned paper used for the frame and the heart. Trim it to 6" x 4.25", edge with Strawberry VersaFine Clair Ink, then use a black pen to edge it a second time. Use a yellow Copic marker to slightly deepen the pale yellow veins in the patterned paper on the frame, heart, and background panel to a darker yellow.

Adhere the 6" x 4.25" patterned paper to a red A6 card. Adhere the sentiment heart die-cut and the framed image panel to the patterned paper. Use an "XOXOXO" cutting die to cut red cardstock. Adhere the letters vertically to complete the card.
