You need to create a heart aperture stencil, out of the copy paper, that will fit in the lower right corner of your card, as seen in the finished design. You can either use a nesting heart die or, like me, you can go for a more "organic" look and draw your own heart freehand, then cut it out!! Go on...be brave. |
Postion your heart stencil towards the lower right corner of the white card, cut to 6 1/4 x 4 1/4" and using your blending tool, apply the Limeade ink within. |
|
Ink up this very beautiful stamp, from the Imala Adventure set, with the Midnight hybrid ink and stamp on to your inked heart. I wanted the plant stem to grow up through the centre of the heart, but you can stamp yours wherever you want. |
|
Ink up the sentiment stamp with Midnight and stamp to the left of your image, but so they are connected, rather than having a floating sentiment. |
|
Adhere your artwork on to the Blush mirri card. |
|
Wrap some twine around your card three times, then tie in a bow and trim off any excess. |
|
Adhere on to your kraft card blank with foam pads. |
|
To finish, add clear adhesive water drops to your artwork. |
