For my project, today, I've combined elements from a few different Add-On stamp sets with a couple of items included in the Love Story kit, itself. I knew I wanted to build my own background for this card, so I pulled the heart images from Heffy Doodle Beary Big Heart, Jillibean Soup Sweet Treat, & Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane: Only You stamp sets, as well as the small "Love" tag from the Heidi Swapp set and the I ❤ U sentiment from Beary Big Heart. I stamped them all, randomly, on an A2 panel of white cardstock in Versamark ink, before heat embossing with Ranger Super Fine White embossing powder, to create my own background pattern. Next, I grabbed some Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Inks and did some emboss resist, ombre ink blending using my Ranger Mini Blending Tools & buffed the embossing with a tissue to turn it back to pure white. To add some interest, I used red Copic markers to add color to the open heart images. On a separate scrap of Copic friendly white card, I stamped the super cute image of the bear holding a big heart from Heffy Doodle's Beary Big Heart set & colored it in with the R20's, E70's & E20's families of Copics, before fussy cutting.
I pulled the beautiful Craft Creations Pink Shimmer paper from the kit, cutting an A2 panel that I adhered to a 110# white card base. Next, I trimmed down my background panel to 3.75 x 5 inches, and adhered it to my prepared, shimmery card base with Woodware 1mm Foam Mounting Tape, for some dimension. Then I grabbed a scrap of light pink vellum from my stash and cut a stitched triangle from it, using a die from my stash, to create an area for my cute colored bear to sit, so it really pops. Before adding the vellum to the card, I popped up the bear on the same 1mm foam tape, then hid dots of Multi Medium Matte behind the image to adhere the vellum to my card front. I selected the "Sending you fuzzy cuddles" sentiment and heat embossed it in Ranger Super Fine White on a strip of red cardstock, cutting the end at an angle to create a banner shape, adhering it at the bottom of the card by the bear. For some sparkle and shine, I added some of the sequins from the Love Story Kit exclusive Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blend With Love, scattered around, and a few drops of Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops (currently out of stock), also included in the kit, and a final touch of Dovecraft Crystal glitter glue (out of stock).
