You Are Loved – A Wish For Everything

For once, I am a little ahead of the game…my Inque Spot Studio Weekly Challenges to inspire you and keep you stamping this week were incorporated with a few other challenges that are out there in the blog world.

I chose the Colors suggested by The Card Concept team (#168) and the Make My Monday Technique Challenge (#167) and as this is a favorite technique, I have added it to the As You See It Challenge (#268).

Here is my #SimpleStamping card:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Magenta Madness cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock. 
• Horizontal Cross Strip: (5¼” x 1⅞”) Basic White cardstock.  I wanted to introduce a little pattern to the strip and chose the retired Tea House Background stamp.  Old Olive ink was added to the stamp and I laid the cardstock down on top carefully and went over it lightly with a Brayer to transfer the pattern.
• Vertical Cross Strip (¼” x 4”) Old Olive cardstock scrap.
• Four Shapes – Hearts: Basic White cardstock.  I chose the retired Something Lacy Background stamp and the Square from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set for the KISSING TECHNIQUE for three Hearts.
  • The Something Lacy Background stamp was inked with Magenta Madness ink.
  • The Square Watercolor Shapes stamp was inked with Petal Pink ink.
  • The Square was pressed onto the Background stamp – in effect – Kissing each other and then stamped on to the Basic White cardstock.
  • For the sentiment Heart, I just added the Petal Pink Square to the cardstock and added the truncated sentiment, You Are Loved, from the A Wish for Everything stamp set with the Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker. 
  • Using the only Heart punch I own, the retired Sweetheart Punch, I created the Hearts.

All of the elements were adhered to the Background panel to match the sketch.  #SimpleStamping – only stamps, paper, ink and the additional punch option. 

Voila!  A sweet little love card.
