Happy Valentine's Day

It's Tuesday which means it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are creating Valentine's Day projects. I decided to create a card with the Valentine Voodoo Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Mistrahl for Carabelle Studio, the Cascading Hearts Medium Stencil by Darkroom Door, and a sentiment from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle.

Here's the card!

23. Trim the image panel to 4" x 5.25" and adhere to the reserved card.

Notes:

• Memento inks were used because I was planning on coloring the grass with my Copic markers. I also considered adding the third image from the Valentine Voodoo Rubber Cling Stamp Set, which is a stack of hearts which I would have wanted to coloring.
• When doing the repeat stencil, you can offset the clouds by moving the stencil, rotating it, or flipping it.
