which I got in my DT kit.

STAMP SET: LETS SHELL-ABRATE!

Here is pic of stamp set along with colored images
( I have used Gansai tambi watercolours to colour these images).

Now over to the cards..

Card 1 – INK BLENDING & MIRROR IMAGE TECHNIQUE

To make this card.. I took A2 size white cardstock
and ink blended the background in heart shape as shown using distress inks.

Once satisfied, I put heart stencil and removed the ink using baby wipes to add some interest to my background and the further stenciled the background using distressed ink And craftyscrappers mini stencil,

HEARTS

After that, I did mirror stamping to create the pair for this cute turtle using pigment ink… As I don’t have mirror stamping block , I have used back side of some bigger stamp from my stash to do the mirror stamping.

Then finally adhered my focal images and white heat embossed sentiment strip along with some heart embellishments and glossy accent…

Here is the close up…

Card 2 – STENCILING TECHNIQUE

To make this card, I took A2 size white card stock.. and stenciled the background using Craftyscrappers February released stencil XOXO ,using pink distress ink.

XOXO STENCIL

Once satisfied, I adhered the focal image with mounting tape
along with some stamped balloons.

Finally, finished it by stamping the sentiment
which is from “Be Mine” stamp set and some hearts.

STAMP SET-BE MINE

Card 3 – CAS + INK BLENDING TECHNIQUE + WATER SPLATTERING TECHNIQUE

Here is my final card and to make this one, again I took A2 size white card stock and distress inked the background using 3 different colored inks.

Once satisfied, I splattered the whole background with mini mister
and then with paint brush.

Finally adhered the focal image using mounted tape and added the handwritten and stamped sentiment as shown along with some silver sequins here & there.
