For this card I used kraft card which I decorated with a paper doily, Graphic 45 paper, the Artistic Stamper Heart Background and the Artistic Stamper postcard stamp. I also used distress inks as well as embossing powder around the edges, and ribbon and crystals for the finishing touches.

To make this card, I have stamped this very new Neil Walker Heart Square & Border with Archival ink, then painted it with watercolours. Then I used this basic watercolour technique, in French we say "ouvrir les blancs", meaning you pass your wet paintbrush in the circles and wipe with a paper towel.

And I have embossed the words "with love" from Grungy Greetings #2

To make my flowers I decorated a sheet of A3 card. I started my layering different colours of Distress Oxides onto the card. Once those layers were dry I continued adding layers with stamps and a stencil from The Artistic Stamper ( Harlequin Background stamp, Calligraphy Mat 15, Harlequin mask ) before dies cutting lots of petals and gluing and shaping them to form flowers.  Please pop along to my blog for more details.

I cut a piece of 350gsm white card to 7" x 7" and used Distress Oxide Inks - Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral and Fired Brick to ink the background. I applied the inks with ink blending brushes to have a nice covered area of colour. I then went around the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink. I used the Mini Background #1 stamp set with the 3 colours of red Distress Oxide to add some patterns to the background. I tore 3 squares from the white card just bigger than the heart stamp, then inked the the same way as the background. I then stamped the heart on to the three torn squares using black VersaFine ink and adhered them to the background. I used the Decay Alphabet - lower case to stamp the words directly on to the background. To finish, I mounted the card on to a piece of 7.5" x 7.5" black card.
