There is a sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps#SSC198 this week called from the heart - very apt for the month of February. I tried to think outside the box for my entry and was inspired by something I saw Kristina Werner doing and I also wanted to try and use a template.
I started off by cutting a template out of a heart shaped thinlet. I fixed this directly to my Very Vanilla cardstock and started to stamp the images on the border of the template. As the stencil is revealed you can see the shape of the heart - sometimes there is a bit of touching up at the middle and the bottom just to make sure the shape is there but I loved how this turned out. I added some SU Tutti Frutti washi tape to the side and stamped and cut out some roses and leaves and added a touch of sheer ribbon. I used four SU inks for the heart - Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Old Olive and Tranquil Tide.
I'm also adding this into the As You See It Challenge #194 who have challenged us to keep things simple - for me simple for crafting is paper and ink.
Fiona, what a great twist on a masking technique - a brilliant idea that really paid off - it's lovely! Beautiful colors! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
