Hey everone… We are at the end of January! That means Valentine’s Day will be here in 14 more days! Today, I have a love themed card to share with you using digital stamp, and some mixed media supplies.
On my card, I used the Love/Spring Digital Stamps from STAMPlorations. They are FREE STAMPS that you can download, use for your projects, and link up with our Linky Party! It is still open until February 8 and lots of chances for you to win the giveaway prizes.
Printed the image on mixed media paper and then colored it loosely with Gelatos and make up sponge.
I used my finger to add thin layer of gesso around the flower to mute the printed background and added some texture on it. Then I dried the page with craft heater.
Using Faber Castell Grey Brush Pen, I added the shadow around the image and blended it with my finger.
I cut out a pink cardstock using the You & Me Phrase Die Set for the sentiment.
The background panel, I embossed a light grey cardstock using wood grain embossing folder, and then I added some brown Gelato on it with make up sponge to bring up some of the grains. Then, I added some white paint splatters with brush and white acrylic paint and water.
I hope you enjoy this card today. For more inspirations, head over to STAMPlorations Blog to see the extra projects from the STAMPlorations Girls.

What a lovely bouquet, Helen … the soft gelato colouring adds a delicate dreaminess to it … and it’s fabulous against the woodgrain background! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Anita 🙂
This is such a lovely card! It is the perfect pairing of rustic and elegance. I love the bright coloring of the blooms and how you placed it all on that gorgeous woodgrain background. This made me smile and I thought it was wonderful from the color palette to the composition. Thank you for sharing your talents with us for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
So pretty with these colors.
