Stitched Hearts

Hello there!

I hope you are all well. I would like to share with you, if I may, a simple little card featuring a cute heart taken from the Paper Smooches stamp set - Needle Little Love. 

This card combines simple masking and stamping techniques. I finished off the card with the word 'Hi', but it could be adapted to a Valentine's or anniversary card by simply changing the sentiment.

What you need...

Stamps:

Needle Little Love - Paper Smooches

Ink pads:

Magenta - Avery Elle Pigment Ink 

Orchid

Raspberry

Onyx Black - Versafine

Masking paper: 

Stamping Mask Paper - Inkadinkado

Card stock:

White

Gems:

Clear

What you do...

1 Stamp a vertical row of four hearts onto white card with the Onyx Black ink so the stitches line up.

2 Stamp the hearts onto masking paper and cut out. Place over each of the hearts.

3 Apply the inks over the hearts so the paler shade of pink is at the top blending down to the deeper shade.

4 Remove the masks and trim the hearts leaving a narrow white border down each side.

5 Mat the heart strip down the left side of a white blank 10.5cm x 15cm trimming away any excess from the top and bottom. Stamp the 'hi' in the lower right corner and finish with some clear gems.

Sadly Paper Smooches are now closed for business. I will however continue to use their stamp and dies sets as they have such wonderful images and they are one of my favourite go to companies. Plus, I know a lot of people own many of their products. So look out for more of my makes featuring Paper Smooches!

Well, I have to sign off now. Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back soon.Take care!
