I'm back again with a special post for the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog! This month's theme is All You Need Is Love. Today I have two cards to share made from one stamped piece. I started by stamping the Marble Waves Background onto watercolor paper. I stamped this image using Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.
Using a wet paint brush, I took pigment directly from my Inktense pencil and applied it to the paper over my embossed design. I allowed the color to dry and then added more color to some areas using the same technique. Once the piece was dry, I die cut a large Solid Heart. This die does have little registration holes for lining it up with it's coordinating stamp, but I cut those off with my wire cutters.
I backed the heart opening with two pieces of vellum. In between those two pieces of vellum I sandwiched some heart confetti. Because the vellum is only adhered around the edges and the confetti is small, the little iridescent hearts do move around when you shake them even though the two pieces of vellum are adhered with out any foam tape. My little shaker was adhered to my card front layered on top of cardstock and vellum panels that had been die cut with stitched rectangle dies.
My second card uses the heart that was left over from the first card. I adhered it to the center of the card and embellished it with the SS Love die cut and it's hearts.
The inside is lined with white cardstock and the Be My Valentine sentiment is stamped in Versafine Onyx ink.
