For the first day of the reveals, we are showcasing the Tides of Love stamp set + coordinating dies with the Bokeh Hearts Stencil.
To begin, I sprayed my stencil with Pixie spray and cut an A2 size piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock. I layered stencil no. 1 from the new Bokeh Hearts stencil and used my blending tool and fog ink to add the first set of hearts on my background. I used stencil no. 2 and Pumice stone distress oxide ink to add the second layer of hearts.
Next, I used some scalloped heart die from my stash to die-cut my ink-blended background. I also die-cut another heart with some pink card stock and added some texture to this using the Waves stencil with Worn lipstick distress oxide ink. Since my background is pretty neutral, I wanted to make my focal point stand out.
I foam-mounted the neutral background on a side fold card base and inlaid my focal piece with liquid adhesive. I stamped and colored my image with my alcohol markers and used the coordinating die to cut this piece. I foam mounted this image onto my card.
To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and sprinkled some embossing powder, then heat-set using my heating tool. I added some white heart sprinkles to adorn the card and glossy accents to the heart for more texture and dimension. Here’s a closer look:

This is such a pretty card on so many levels. Love how the broken stencil work is in the soft Kraft colour. A very sutle contrast to the pink but very effective.
