Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I wanted to give a Valentine’s card a mix media look. I first stamped the Kraft paper with two backgrounds then mixed modeling past with Distress Oxide’s Speckled Egg and then smeared the modeling paste once. As soon as it was dried, I repeated the process of mixing color and modeling paste and used Tim Holtz’s stencil called Tracks THSO44 so the tracks would look like they were on top of the layers.
Simon Says Stamp has a stamp set called, You Have My Heart. Besides the sentiments on the stamps, I liked the flowers. At first, I watercolored the flowers to give it a background look, then came in with colors pencils to give it more definition, afterwards, I used Stampers Anonymous Gamsol to mix the pencil wax into the watercolor paper. Afterwards, I used Wink of Stella to give it a shimmery look.
I have linked the following products for you in case you are interested in making a similar card- I am not employed by Simon Says Stamp so there are no affiliate links listed. I am sharing what I enjoy, making cards.
You have my heart and matching die
Twiddlersnook tray-this is a magnetic tray that Katy from Hook, Line and Inker on Instagram recommended and I have been using since. This is highly recommended because I tend to lose small die cuts and so the magnetic helps a lot.
