 | | Hi everyone, this is my card for SCS Free for All Friday Challenge F4A833 of Valentines (a week late) - see this link: F4A833 Valentine 2/6/2026 by Bailmac at Splitcoaststampers and for the USEIT2026 for all those unused paper supplies. See this link: USEIT2026 by lovinpaper at Splitcoaststampers My unused supplies is the Lawn Fawn sentiment. I totally forgot that I had this set so will be leaving it out for the Anniversary Card that I will be making my husband. Everything on my card is old - other than what I coloured my image with.
The main image is by Penny Black - Love Tail - which is from 2006. I stamped it using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Ranger Watercolour Cardstock, then coloured it using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using a Zig Blender Pen for all my blending instead of water. I only recently found out that Zig makes this Blender Pen and this was my first try out with using it. I absolutely LOVE it and it is so easy to use. I went around the image with a Lyra Sky Blue Watercolour Pencil. First, I scribbled the pencil onto some scrap watercolour cardstock and added some water, then picked the colour up with my #4 Round Paintbrush and smooshed it around so it is very light but takes away the stark white of the watercolour cardstock. I went over the image with an Anko 0.05 Black Pigment Pen to darken up the black lines.
I diecut the image using a QuicKutz Nesting Card Templates Die and my Big Shot, then diecut the next size up from Colormates Dark Racy Raspberry Cardstock. All the designer papers are by Simple Stories - Love and Adore - which first came out in 2016 so are 10 years old. The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn - Love Letters - and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I diecut the panel using a Lifestyle Nesting Circles Die, then diecut the scalloped circle using a Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Small Circles Die. The main image panel is popped up on scraps of white cardstock and the sentiment is popped up on the top and RHS with 1mm Self-Adhesive Doublesided Foam Pads. The bottom LHS of the sentiment panel is glued flush to the main image panel. I punched some tiny hearts from Dark Racy Raspberry Cardstock using my EK Success Arrows Border Punch. The leftover punchies look like tiny hearts and are perfect for adding a little something extra to your card. I glued three around the sentiment and two on the main image panel using Art Glitter Glue fitted with a fine nozzle. I thought about adding a ribbon or some rhinestones but didn't really have the right colour to match so just left the card as-is; I guess I am just keeping it simple. Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a White Kaisercraft Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue. As a final touch, I added some Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Brush to the hearts and flowers as well as the tiny hearts.
Thanks for having a peek at my card! You are welcome to visit my blog - Instead of Ironing Blogspot - this link will take you to my blog post ---> https://instead-of-ironing.blogspot....tines-day.html I have a close-up photo of the main image panel.
