Hello Heart

Good afternoon, It is hard to believe it is Thursday!!  The Theme for the Mod Squad Challenge Blog this week is From The Heart. The Challenge over at StampNation is an inspiration Photo Challenge. I used the inspiration photo and the Hearts theme and created this card.

I used the vented heart die and painted Hello die from Simon Says Stamp, the background is from a Sizzix embossing folder.

Thanks for coming by my little blog.

Challenge Card

I mixed together a few techniques I have learned over that last few weeks to make this card.  I used the stencil from the new Stamp TV kit and inked it up on Kraft cardstock with white pigment ink. Next I moved the stencil up and to the left and inked with candied apple distress ink. The final touch was to ink up a scripty background stamp with the distress ink and stamp it over the stencil. I added the simple sentiment layered on a die cut circle.

I am entering the card in this weeks Stamp TV's Mix it up Monday Challenge and the Mod Squad Challenge Blog.

Thanks for coming to take a look.

Techique Tool Box Creative Stenciling

Lesson #1 -  The Basics of stenciling. I used stencils  with distress inks and round ink blenders to create a background for our card and then embellish and finish the card.

For this card I used the staggered Hearts stencil from MFT,  Abandoned Coral distress ink. I also sponged and cut out the hearts with Stitched Heart Stax Dies, also from MFT and the sentiment is from All you need is Love by Unity Stamp Co.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look and please leave a comment. I read and love them all.

Your in stamping,

MFT Sketch Challenge #253

This weeks Sketch Challenge over at MFT goes until Noon EST on Nov. 10th. I am getting my card done just in time. Here is the sketch.

And here is my Card.

I used balloons in place of the stars.  The Kraft cardstock was stamped with the New Bold Diagonal Stripe Background stamp using Kraft ink. The balloons were cut from Fresh Squeezed Chevron and Painted Prints Citrus Paper Packs using the Party Balloons Die-namics. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of white cardstock cut using the Stitched Fishtail Flags Die-namics and is from Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set. The balloons all have a gold cord string attached and the balloons are popped up using foam tape.

Thanks for coming and having a look.
