Be My Valentine!

Happy Tuesday!

Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I decided to make a Valentine's card using the adorable "Matchmakin' Maynard" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired Maynard with the HH sentiment "Sm. Fancy Be My Valentine". 

To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it with my Copic markers. Using a heart shaped die, I cut out the image. I stamped the image onto a post it note and then fussy cut it out. I used that as a "mask" over top of my coloured image. Using some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and a cloud stencil, I created the background over the masked image. It's always fun when you peel off the mask and see how your image is now surrounded by clouds. I am using papers from the Moda Scraps "Pink Cotton Candy" 6x6 collection. I also inked all the edges of my papers with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. A bit of Crystal Stickles on Maynard's hearts finish off my card.

Copics Used:

RV66, R85, R83, RV34

E31, E33, E34/ E43, E44

W1, W3, W5
