It's a release day at Simon Says Stamp! The Heart to Heart release is live, and as the title suggests, it'ss about all things love. Today I'm sharing a couple of cards created using the new Heart City stencils. This is a set of three stencils that create a repeating dimensional heart shaped building.
For my first card today, I wnet monochromatic, inking the stencils with Carnation, Peony and Rose to create my background.
For the sentiments, I pulled out my ilysm stamps and dies, die cutting the shadow piece from white, the sentiment itself from hot pink cardstock, and stamping the secondary sentiment in black on that same pink cardstock. Super easy.
Next up, my favorite card created for this release. This was fun because I was just kind of playing and experimenting.
This time, I used Distress Oxide Sprays to create the bottom portions of the heart buildings with Villainous Potion on the left, and Peacock Feathers on the right.
For the solid heart stencils, I combined Ranger Transparent Matte Texture Paste with Ominous Twilight Distress Mica Stain, spreading this through the stencil.
While I really liked the look, I wanted something with a little more oomph, so, once the paste was dry, I replaced the stencil, and rubbed Statue Foundry Wax around the edges of the hearts and then heat set.
A little bit of gold splatter using my Starry Colors watercolors finished off the background.
\The sentiment is from the Clean Line Stacks set and was gold embossed on black cardstock, die cut, and popped up with foam tape.
That's all for me today. Be sure to head over to Simon to check out the full release!
