Love......

I love playing around with texture paste and stencils. There is just something about all that mixing & spreading, a bit like icing a cake I guess lol. I just love Simon Says Stamps falling Hearts & Stars stencils so I took the opportunity to use the hearts stencil for a Valentines card.

 Using Ranger Texture paste I mixed a couple of drops of Spun Sugar into the paste to use with the Falling Stars stencil to create the background. I then swiped Barn Door, Picked Raspberry & Worn Lipstick distress inks on my craft sheet and after spritzing with water picked up the colour on my die-cut heart. The kraft "Love" die cut word was cut 3 times and the last 3 letters were stacked to give dimension.I then coated the whole word in Wink of Stella to give a lovely sheen. I only stacked the last 3 letters of the word as the heart was mounted with thin foam tape raising it enough so the "L" only needed one layer.

This photo shows how the Wink of Stella pen gives a lovely sheen but even then it is still no where near as lovely as in real life!
At the last minute I added a couple of tiny clear sequins mainly because I needed to hide a small black ink smudge! Gotta love those sequins!
