This week's make it Monday involves Valentine Ombre Stamping. Melissa has a wonderful video showing how she created a beautiful Valentine card using ombre stamping. Check it out
here.
I really didn't have much Valentine stamps or dies so I decided to use an tweed (looks like an arrow to me!) stencil to make my ombre Valentine.
I sought out the latest sketch challenge over at
Case This Sketch for inspiration.
I used distress ink to ink up the stencil. I am always amazed at how effortlessly the distress ink is to blend together! I used baker's twine to mimic the three lines behind the oval. A heart is more suitable for a Valentine so thus that replaced the oval. I normally stamp elements on white card stocking using colored ink but this time I think the colored card stock helped the elements stand out more.
I cut the small heart on the tag out of plain ordinary white fun foam. You know the kind the kids play with. I colored it with a Copic marker to make it red and an interesting thing happened. After coloring the foam took on a glittery appearance. I tried to capture it in the photo above to show you but it really is very glittery in person. I used foam tape to pop up the rose a bit. I also heat embossed the sentiment on the tag and inked the tag edges a bit to give some depth.
