Hello Friend! I’m so glad that you stopped by! I’m back with another card for Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Sweetheart, featuring this super fun Heart Banners Stencil. Let’s run through the details, shall we?
I began this card by cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock to 6×6. This is a set of four stencils, and I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to lay out on the cardstock, and that’s why I began with a 6×6 panel. I could always trim it down later, if I decided to. I taped the panel to the stencil and began ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Sweets, Sunbeam, Surf, Cadette and Orchid. I started in rainbow order, but then decided that I didn’t want all of the heart to look the same, so I began mixing up the colors a little bit. Instead of starting with the pink, I started with the blue, and so forth.
I continued through the stencils until the panel was complete. I used the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim the panel down, which left some white areas at the top and bottom. To remedy this, I just added more hearts to those areas, once again mixing up the colors so that everything wasn’t uniform. For a little added interest, I used a Copic Multiliner to draw double lines around each heart.
The sentiment, which is from the SSS XL Greetings 3, was stamped on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating die to trim that out, along with two additional cuts and adhered all of those together using liquid glue. The sentiment was then glued directly atop the panel in the center. For some added bling, I added a few PFS Ice Clear Drops.
To finish up, the heart panel was adhered to a black panel using foam tape and then adhered to the card base.
That does it for this one! I really love all of the different hearts, and adding the black detail around the hearts made a huge difference, in my opinion. Thanks again for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!
