Last week was one of the busiest weeks ever, and I totally forgot that today was the 25th and the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. Before I left for Dining Room Ministry this morning I got this card started, and finished it when I returned. I combined one of the techniques from the Online Card Class “Stenciled” Day 1 with the blog hop inspiration. The very first day of class featured several techniques for using stencils, and I have tried almost none of them. It’s going to be a great class.
Here’s the inspiration piece for the Papertrey Blog hop. The charge was to create a card using just a variety of pinks. Neutrals like white, black and silver are allowed.
I first cut a mask with my Spellbinders Nested hearts, and used it to apply both Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks over the Hero Arts “Tweed Pattern” stencil on my heart which I then die cut.
Next I cut the next size heart from Raspberry Fizz and layered them. I tried a variety of card bases and didn’t like any of them. So finally I pulled out my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Creme de Rouge. For once I got the spray just the way I wanted it.
The sentiment combines the stamped word “love” from Rustic Branches and a die cut “you” from Wonderful Words. A few scattered pink and silver sequins and it was done. The first of the valentines completed!

Love this Karen and I think I may need that stencil. I have been meaning to comment on your beautiful tags from December. You picked stunning colours and they made the packaging so special. Glad to be back posting and creating – things just got too hectic so, as you know, something has to give.
Simply gorgeous! Love that stenciled heart.
So simple and pretty! I love it…
This is beautiful. I see all sorts of interesting techniques here that I don’t know how to do–so I am guessing that stenciling class is a good one. I love the combination of scattered sequins and scattered ink.
I always love what you do with these prompts Karen. Just beautiful.
What a pretty card. The glimmer mist was a nice touch. – Irma
That class looks really interesting to me! Love your card, and how you got a perfect spray with the glimmer mist. So hard to do!
Saw this class, and now sorry I didn’t sign up. This is just beautifully done. glimmer mists can be tricky, but this is just right! Perfect everything on this lovely card!
Love it….especially the spray background.
Perfect stencil for the heart Karen & love the misted base!
What a lovely card Karen. I like that you used so many techniques – misting & stenciling & die cutting & stamping.
This is gorgeous, Karen!
