Claritystamp Challenge - Love 2

Have you had a go at the Claritystamp Challenge yet?  If not there is still time to enter.  Here's another design I made on the theme Love.

Stamps: Claritystamp NDC 69 Love You, Couple from Wee Folk 1

Stencils: NDC 85 Heart and Leaves

Inks:      Archival Black, Adirondack Raspberry

Other:    Spectrum Noir pencils, Sizzix Thinlets Decorative Trim #2

• Tape the stencil to the top of the card and brush through Raspberry ink.  I am only interested in the left half of the stencil here.
• Add the heart insert to the top heart and darken the colour here.
• Use a make-up sponge to wipe the colour off the stencil and enhance the edges.  

• Stamp the sentiment in the top heart and the couple in the bottom heart using Archival black ink.
• Trim card to size and then go around the edges of the hearts with coloured pencils to add depth. Also add some shading under the couple.

• Mask the edges of a blank card and then brush on Raspberry ink.
• Go round the edges with the colour pencils.
• Using the dies cut out the decorative strips in a pearlescent card.

• Using double sided tape stick on the stenciled card and then add the trims using a pen glue.
