Valentine Theme Week- Day 5

Hello crafty friends, Lisa Mears here. For my card today, I’m using the Layered Valentine Hearts stencil to make a card that looks like the conversation hearts candy that is popular for Valentine’s Day.

The Layered Valentine Hearts stencil is a four layer stencil which includes the heart shapes (Layer A), the dots for the hearts (Layer B), the stripes for the hearts (Layer C), and the words (Layer D). This pack of stencils has so much versatility because you can pick and choose which stencils you want to use. For example, you can use just the Layer A stencil to get a background full of hearts. You can also use the Layer A stencil with the hearts and add a design to the hearts with the dots from Layer B and the stripes from Layer C. You can also use all four stencils together to get the conversation hearts background as shown in the picture below.

While inking stencil Layer A, I masked off each row in order to get different colors of ink for each row of hearts. I used the Scrapbook.com Hybrid inks in the following colors: Pink Flamingo Ink, Pear, Parisian Purple, Sky Blue, Lantern Light, and Orange Cream.

I used the same color inks to add the dots (Layer B) and stripes (Layer C), just adding a little more ink to make it look darker on top of the solid heart shape. For Layer D, I used Scrapbook.com Cardinal Red ink to add a red ink color to the words.

For the sentiment, I hot foiled the word Hugs from rainbow hot foil using the Hot Foil Large Hugs and die cut it with the coordinating Large Hugs Shadow. I used the Scallop Border to die cut a border from pattern paper and added it to the left side of the stenciled cardstock.

I added the Blue Sky Pearls and Lilac Pearls to the card front and added it to an A2 size card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a sweet day!
