You can tell it's February as there are hearts all over crafting blogs. After the year we've all had - we all need some love and what nicer way than to send a card to cheer someone up.
I fancied having a play with a very old Tim Holtz heart stamp I found in the bottom of my stash and which hasn't had any love shown to it in a while. I followed the colours of the Retro Rubber Challenge blog and limited myself to Grey, Black and Red.
I started off by blending a very pale covering of Hickory Smoke over some TH watercolour card stock - I then used Fired Brick with a heart stencil from SU for the red hearts and added a touch of an old script stamp by TH. I then added the dots stencil from TH with the Hickory Smoke also.
The heart stamp was stamped in black and coloured in with a watercolour brush using TH Redbrick and a touch of Festive Berries. There is also a little bit of grey metallic distress crayon to give it a bit of a shimmer around the heart and around the edge of the card stock. The heart has been covered in Glossy Accents to make it stand out. The kiss sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted stamp set and the other sentiments are from a Simon Says Stamp set called Take Heart. All sets are quite old to fit in with Retro Rubber's Challenge.
I’m delighted to have won the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with this card - my first time entering too - what a lovely surprise

Fiona ... I am sorry but we will have to delete both of your project for the current challenge since they are the same cards & posts from our last challenge. Each challenge required a new project ... to reuse your project post from before our current challenge was posted is considered back linking. Just wanted to make you aware of this rule in case you didn't understand that rule. Thanks and hope you'll create something new to share on our current challenge ... you still have time.
