I trimmed a panel of Simon Says Stamp #120 Ultra White card to measure 4" x 5.1/4" and used the watercolour smooshing technique to add colour to the background. If you are not familiar with this technique, it's really easy and lots of fun. I tapped the Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink pad on to a piece of plastic, spritzed with water and pressed on to the card, leaving it for a few seconds to allow the card to absorb the ink and repeated until I was happy with the coverage.
I picked up the remaining ink on a paintbrush, flicked it over the background to create splatters and dried with a heat tool.
I stamped the LOVE letters on to a scrap of the white card using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black ink, sprinkled with Ranger Superfine Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. I stamped the heart image with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and fussy cut both, leaving a small white border. I coloured the letters with the Worn Lipstick droplets of ink left on the plastic.
I stamped the stitching from Bo Bunny Stitches and sentiment from Ornate Love with SSS Intense Black ink and the hearts from Stitches with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide.
I fixed the letters and heart to the panel with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mini Foam Adhesive, using my T Square Ruler (another crafter's must-have) to ensure they were straight.
I applied Distress Collage Medium Matte to the heart, sprinkled with Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter and added a sequin.
I fixed the panel to SSS Black card and matted on to an A2 white card blank.
