Hello, Samantha here today and because it was Valentine’s Day a few days ago I’m sharing a tutorial showing how I made my version of a Valentine card, I just need someone to send it to! I used four brilliant stamp sets; Celestial<\/a>, You Rock!<\/a>, Whimsical Summer<\/a> and Mix It Up 3<\/a> and also the Organic 2<\/a> stencil, which I used together with Distress Inks to create my background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I began with a piece of white card, slightly smaller than my card blank which is 5 inches x 5 inches. Using the Organic 2<\/a> stencil and brushes I applied distress ink to the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After removing the stencil I went over the card with the same colours to fill in the white space and then I sprinkled with water to help blend the colours a little and add some texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the hearts stamp from the Mix It Up 3<\/a> stamp set I white heat embossed the hearts to brighten up the card and add some contrast, I also splattered the background with white and silver paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then painted my road to the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I stamped the moon from the Celestial<\/a> stamp set and car from the Whimsical Summer<\/a> stamp set and the text from the You Rock!<\/a> stamp set on to white card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I then coloured them using Prismacolour pencils and a white Posca pen for highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To finish I adhered everything in place, added the text and some black ink splats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by, Sam x<\/p>\n\n\n\n
