Our challenge this month at The Male Room is Valentine/Use a Heart. I cut the heart die cut with it's matching edge from a Creative Expressions die and used the negative space as a stencil. I used Distress Ink Mustard Seed, Fossilised Amber and a touch of Vintage Photo. I added some water to parts of the background to lift the colour and give it a bleached effect.
As I was using the stamp set from Aida Domisiewicz for Aallandcreate #47 which had bees and honey I chose to use these colours rather than the usual red. I think it's worked out lovely and hubby will be getting this for his Valentine. I used a stamp set called Background Voices by Bipasha Bk for Aallandcreate for the background stamping. A little bit of bling in some embellishments and gold Pebeo wax finished off the card.
