Even though I love the tree image in the Family Is Forever stamp set, I decided to use the floral heart image for a card. In order to create the illusion that some hearts are in front of the others, a masking technique was used. After stamping the center heart using Lagoon ink, another heart image was stamped on a piece of scrap paper and then cut out. This was piece was placed on top of the stamped Lagoon heart so that when the Sorbet hearts were stamped, the ink in the overlapped area was on the scrap paper and not the main stamped image. When you remove the scrap paper, the Lagoon heart appears to be on top of the Sorbet hearts. The process was repeated to stamp the hearts using Flaxen ink.
After stamping the hearts, some Lagoon Heart Washi Tape was added to the top and bottom of a piece of Flaxen cardstock. Two strips of Gold Shimmer Trim were added, and then the stamped hearts. Some Gold Bling gives the card some extra sparkle.
Place a $50 minimum order this month (September 2014) and you are eligible to purchase the Family Is Forever stamp set for only $5.
