I focused on Donna's:
-floral theme
-layout
-'splattered' look
-grey card base
I changed:
-technique (Donna stamped on wet paper, I 'ink smooshed')
-die cut
-more colours
When working with more than one stamp set, choose stamps with a similar line weight to create a cohesive design. The handwritten sentiment works well with the scribbly flower.
I started with a 4.25x4.25 inch square panel and stamped the sentiment and flowers. Then I started my ink-smooshing.
When it was all dry, I cut out a folk heart and removed it and then cut a 4x4 square from the remainder. This allows the heart to extend of the edge of the square panel a little bit.
I laid the heart back into the panel and popped it up with foam tape.

Ardyth, this is such a neat card with the heart popped up and extending out from the background. Thanks for the explanation of how you did it. I will have to try this sometime. And thanks again for picking my gallery for the challenge! I'm so excited to see all the creations!

Happy stamping to all you Splitcoasters who inspire me each day!
