Valentine Theme Week- Day 3

Hi everyone! Ardyth here with a couple of cards featuring the some of the new (and old!) Valentine products. Each day a different designer will be here on the blog with some Valentine inspiration for you!

And to help you celebrate, we’re having a 15% discount on all items in our Valentine Section during this theme week!

Today I have a non-traditional valentine using plenty of different techniques – ink blending, stencilling and double-inlaid die cuts! I started by inkblending a panel of white cardstock with pink and yellow inks. Then I used the new Layered Hearts stencils. With the first stencil layer, I added more ink to give a subtle tone-on-tone look to my hearts and with the second stencil, I spritzed some shimmer spray through to add some shine.

I used the large Scallop Heart die to cut out a heart from the colourful panel (see how I didn’t let it go to waste, below), and then inlaid a black heart.

I blended some more ink onto another white panel, and I cut it with the Love word from the Love coordinating die set, and spritzed the letters with the shimmer spray before inlaying them into the panel.

I used the Happy Birthday to You Script die, and trimmed the ‘you’ from the rest of the die cut. I looped the extra curl on the word over the middle arm of the E for some added interest.

For a sparkly finishing touch, I added some of the darkest pink jewels from the Valentine Mix.

I couldn’t let that colourful heart go to waste so I made another card with it. I popped it up on a white panel and then stacked two layers of the Happy Valentine’s Day Script die on top. More of those pink jewels to finish it off and now I have two valentines to send to friends!
