Lovebirds XOXOXO

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. It's an "Anything Goes" week and I've made yet another Valentine's Day card with the Funky Pigeons Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Hobby Art, Ltd., the Heart Layered Stencils/Masks by Studio Light, the Ink Drops - Candy Patterned Paper Pad by Craft Consortium, Strawberry VersaFine Clair Ink, and a sentiment from the JM 20 Mini Love Birds Cling Mounted Stamp Set by JOFY for PaperArtsy.

Here it is!

  3. Color the Funky Pigeons pair with Copic markers.
  4. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart as a mask.
  5. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally across the pigeon's feet to mask them and the bottom of the image panel. 
  6. Sponge or brush grey ink over the masked pigeons. Set the pigeon panel aside.
  7. Remove the tape and use Copic markers to color the bottom of the image panel. Set the image panel aside.
  8. Use StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the polaroid frame from the Funky Pigeons Clear Polymer Stamp Set onto a piece of predominantly red patterned paper from the Ink Drops - Candy Patterned Paper Pad
  9. Fussy-cut the outside of the frame.

  12. Brush StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the frame. 
  13. Move the stencil and continue to brush ink over the stencil until you're happy with the amount of hearts on the frame.
  14. Adhere the Funky Pigeons image panel behind the stenciled and fussy-cut frame. Set aside.

  19. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp and lift. 
  20. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. 
  21. Edge the heart with StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink then use a black pen to edge it again.
  22. Take a piece of the same patterned paper used for the frame and the heart and trim it to 6" x 4.25".
  23. Edge the patterned paper with StrawberryVersaFine Clair Ink, then use a black pen to edge it a second time. 
  24. Use a yellow Copic marker to slightly deepen the pale yellow veins in the patterned paper on the frame, heart, and background panel to a darker yellow.
  25. Adhere the 6" x 4.25" patterned paper to the reserved red A6 card. 
  26. Adhere the sentiment heart die-cut and the framed image panel to the patterned paper.
