Happy Sunday everyone… on this first Sunday of the month, I have a mixed media Valentine theme card to share with you all.
On my card, I am using stamps amd stencils from STAMPlorations: Zen Hearts ARTplorations Stencil, Art Splatters ARTplorations Stencil, Big Dreamer Stamp Set.
I started with adding the Twilight Catherine Pooler Ink on a white cardstock using the Art Splatter Stencil and blending brush. Then I trimmed it slightly smaller than the grey card base. I distress the edges with distresser tool. I added this background panel on the card with permanent adhesive runner.
I mixed some fine glitter with texture paste on my craft mat. I dabbed some of the Be Mine Catherine Pooler Ink Pad on the craft mat and mixed the texture paste with the ink. I added the paste on a white cardstock usung the Zen Heart Stencil. I dried it with craft heater and then I fussy cut the heart and added on the card with permanent glue adhesive.
I stampe the sentiment and flower from the Big Dreamer Stamp Set on a white cardstock using the Midnight Catherine Pooler Ink, I dried them with craft heater. Next I colored the flowers and leaves with Catherine Pooler Inks – Be Mine, Grass Skirt, and Lime Rickey – using water brush.
I fussy cut the flower branch and sentiment with micro tip scissors. And then I added them on the heart with permanent adhesive glue and also I used 3D foam tape on some of the leaves and flower for extra dimension.
I added some white paint splatters on the card to finish this card.

So very gorgeous. Love the heart die.
Beautiful cards. Really like that Japanese Mum stamp so much. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
Well, Helen, I was looking at all the cards and forgot to comment on the heart card separately. I love how it is geometric within the heart as it really makes it striking.
Gorgeous card Helen! It’s so elegant and pretty.

This is just wonderful, Helen. I love the stencilled, sparkly heart atop those gray spolches. That little flower is an awesome addition. I love the distressed edges on the white panel too. Just fantastic. Thanks for playing with us at Time Out.
The touch of splatters add so much depth to this card! Stunning!
