Neat & Tangled January Release and Giveaways - Day 4


Hey everyone!  It's the last day of release reveals, and today we're showing off my newest stencil, which is actually a set.  You guys have been big fans of the balloon duo stencil, and I thought a similar heart set was in order.

Instead of having hearts all the same size like the balloons, I've varied the sizes and I really love the effect you get.  I'm amazed at how quickly you can create a background with these.  

This first card is essentially a rehash of my card from Day 1, but on white cardstock, and I'm using regular Distress Ink instead of the Oxides.  The colors I chose were:  Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries, and Shaded Lilac.  I really like how this color combination turned out!  


Once the background came together (in a snap), I heat set, and then stamped the sentiment from Just Because with Versafine and then clear embossed.  I also added the small xoxo from that set.

So quick and easy, but such a big impact.


For this next card, I was just kind of messing around.  I haven't done much in the mixed media genre of late, and it's always fun to do a little experimenting.

I started by using a rubber brayer to add some areas of red, blue and yellow to the background (Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade, and Peacock Feathers).

Then, using the stencils, I inked some layers of hearts in using Candied Apple, Black Soot, and Wilted Violet.


Another layer of hearts was added using translucent and copper embossing paste - this was done in two different sessions as the paste needed to dry between.

I also added some gold and black splatter.

The xoxo sentiment is from the Just because set.

What do you think?  Two totally different cards, but both a lot of fun to put together.

You'll want to head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to check out what the rest of the team created as well as the other featured products for today.  You'll be entered to win those by leaving a comment there.
