You Are Made Of Wonderful - Paper Players Challenge 280

Hello,

Wow, the last day of January already.

It's Sunday and time for another Paper Players challenge. Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for us.

For challenge #280, I choose to use the left vertical option of flowers, die cuts, yellow. I'm still inking up my new Stampin' Up sets and today I am using the Picture Perfect set from the 2016 Occasions catalog. This set has three separate stamps to make the final image and each stamp is numbered to help with the layering. Easy, and SO MUCH FUN!

I saw a Kleenex purse pack that had a heart shape made from roses on it, and I decided to re-create it for my card today. I started by using some Eclipse masking paper cut to the same size as my front panel, then used my SU Heart Framelit die to cut the heart shape. I put the mask down over my card front and began stamping and layering the roses into the open space.  What made the layering technique very easy is the Misti tool. It's so easy to ensure that the stamps are perfectly aligned. I also fussy cut three rose "masks" to use in the process.

Once I finished stamping the roses, I peeled the mask off and stamped one of the sentiments from the set along the side of the heart. The panel was cut with a Mama Elephant die, layered over a piece of Crushed Curry card stock with fun foam to raise it up. The card base is Whisper White. I kept the embellishments simple, just two groups of clear sequin.

I had so much fun stamping with the Misti, I made a second card. This time I used water color paper and Tim Holtz distress inks, using the exact same process. Here is the second card, and it has a totally different look.

To do the blue color wash over the rest of the card front without getting ink on the yellow roses, I placed the cut out Eclipse heart over the image. Using water and a large paint brush I painted the three blue shades. I used my heat tool to quick dry, then heat embossed the same sentiment with SU Craft black ink and clear EP. The image is cut out with a Die-namics die. Again, just a few embellishments.

I think these cards will go to my mom and sister for their Valentine's Day cards.

Don't forget to stop by the rest of the DT's blogs. They have some really great cards to share.
