A quick and simple Valentine with white space

 

Hi There! It is February and the challenge theme over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group is White Space, so here is a Valentines card that fits the theme. Here is a step by step showing how I made it.

I began by placing some stencil tape approximately half way down the card, then blended distress ink over the top half

Next I placed the hearts desire 6x6" inkable over the card and blended more of the abandoned coral ink through the inkable onto the inky half of the card. 

I removed the inkable and tape before stamping the heart border across the card using versafine clair ink.

I used the heart and another of the worker stamps from the Sam Journaling Girl set and added to the inky section of the card, as well as on the ends of the heart border. 

Using the distress inks and a paint brush I coloured the hearts. 

I stamped the love sentiment from Mixed Messages #3 using two shades of Versafine Clair to match the inky panel and added a few highlights with a white gel pen around the stamped hearts.

Here is the finished card once again. 

I used:

Distress inks in Wilted violet and Abandoned Coral

Hearts Desire 6x6 inkable

Bee Crafty Journaling Girls borders #1

Bee Crafty journaling Girls: Sam

Mixed Messages #3

Versafine Clair ink in Purple Delight and Tulip Red

White gel pen

Hi There! We have a new Challenge starting tomorrow over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group, so I thought I would use today's blog post to make something to fit the theme. There is possibly a little more white space than I am used to, and I will try and fight the urge to add some splatters or a few sequins before the end of the post! 😂 

Here is how I put it together.

I began by blending some Peacock Feathers ink through the tag inkable. I used distress oxide but Distress ink would be just as good. 

Next I used versamark ink to stamp the circles and emboss using white embossing powder on a scrap of black card, which I cut out.

I used the lines stamps from the same set to add a line across the card about a third of the way up then added more down the left hand side.

Next I stamped the tape measure from the stitched borders onto a scrap of white card twice and cut out. I then cut the strips, one under the ten and one under the seven.

I used 3d glue to attach these elements to the base card.

Next I cut two small nesting circles from black and white card.

I stamped the butterfly onto the circle and also onto a scrap of card and painted both using Peacock Distress ink (again, distress oxide ink could be used for this purpose). I cut out the second butterfly and placed over the first using 3d glue.

Finally I stamped the sentiment using versafine clair ink.

Here is the finished card once more.

I used:

6x6 square white card blank

Tag inkables set 2
Journal Art Elements 2 stamp set

Stitch borders stamp set

Birds and Butterflies regular stamp set

Small words stamp set

Versafine Clair Black ink

Peacock feathers distress ink or distress oxide ink

Scraps of black and white card

White embossing powder

Versamark ink
