Stitched Hearts


This is the inspiration for the Dec 29- Jan 11
PAPER SMOOCHES SPARKS CHALLENGE

I was inspired by the colors and the lettering. So I incorporated that into my card.
I used the PAPER SMOOCHES set FOLKal POINTS.

I drew determined the middle of the card and allowed for the space this would take and centered using a ruler and pencil lines. I started with the center heart and worked out from there. I used Memento ink pads. Then I stamped the word Love next to each heart overlapping a little. I started at the top then immediately stamped the next two getting a lighter image each time. Then I repeated.

I finished off with stitching up the middle of the hearts and added crystal heart stickers.

RECIPE:
STAMPS: FOLKal Points Paper Smooches Stamps)
PAPER:Cottonball White (Clear Dollar Stamps)
INK:Memento Tuxedo Black, Bahama Blue, Rose Bud, Dandelion, Pear Tart, Tangelo
ACCESSORIES:Paper piercer and Mat (We R Memory Keepers), Thread, Needle, Dimensional tape, Martha Stewart Valentine Heart Crystal Stickers
TECHNIQUES: 2nd generation stamping, stitching
