'It's All About Love' CVC Project 2

Hello All,

Here’s my second DT project for the February theme “It’s All About Love” that I’m hosting for Country View Crafts Challenges on Facebook.

There’s still time to enter the challenge which ends on 29^th February – there’s a Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Rosettes die set to be won by a randomly selected winner, so head on over to the FB challenge page for details on how to enter here (https://www.facebook.com/groups/164920247712393)

I had an ATC swap to do this month, which was also for the theme All About Love, so I thought I’d share with you the card and ATC that I made for it.

First, I cut the card blank and ATC (2.5” x 3.5”) to size. 

Then using a palette knife I went over the Distressed Brick Visible Image Stencil with Distress Crypt Grit Paste. This gives a wonderful textured brick/concrete like look, just perfect for use with this stencil.

Once dried, I smooshed onto Scorched Timber Reinker mixed with water and Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink Pad, on my craft mat.

 

 I stamped the images in Nocturne Versafine Clair Ink, coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils and then fussy cut. 

 Finally I added them to the backgrounds with the sentiments that were stamped onto plain card and mounted onto Kraft Card backing.

I edged the card and ATC with the Distress Scorched Timber Ink Pad. It’s a great colour for aged edging.

 To finish I added Glossy Accents to accentuate the eyes, nose and hearts and here they are.

  I hope you like my little project and will be inspired to make one for yourself,

and join in the challenge too.

Happy Crafting
