Hi Friends!

I’m a part of an Instagram Hop celebrating their Valentine release! Be sure to head there and comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 gift card. Today is day 2 of a 3 day hop too so you can go back and join tomorrow to increase your chance. I made two cards using the Sending Love set, Hugs Script die, and Scattered Hearts stencil.

To make my cards, I began by stamping and coloring my images. I had to take my son to tennis so while I sat in the car, I colored with the limited amount of markers that I brought along with me.

Monkey: E31, E33, E35, E37, E40, E41, E43
Envelopes: E30
Hearts and Mailbox: R32, R35, R37, R39
Gift and Dog Collar: BG10, BG11, BG34, BG13
Bird: B00, B02, B04, B06
Fox: E11, E13, E15, E18, E40, E42
Raccoon and Mailbox: C0, C2, C4, C6, C8, E40
Dog and box: E41, E30, E31, E34, E35, E37, E39

My first background is ink-blended with Blush ink. I ink-blended the Scattered Hearts stencil first, then went over it with a cloud border stencil using the Build A Rainbow stencil from Simon Says Stamp. I saw Nichol Sphor do something similar and wanted to try it – she is so good with layering backgrounds!

I die-cut a stitched border using the Stitched Rectangles from Simon Says Stamp and attached my images and embossed sentiments.

My second card is similar. Instead of using a second stencil, I used only the Scattered Hearts stencil and introduced a purple ink to fade into the pink. I added the stitched border again before attaching my images.

This card uses the Hugs Script die. To give it more dimension, I die cut it three times to stack. I finished by attaching my images to create my scene.

I hope you enjoyed these cards! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the Instagram Hop for more inspiration!
