Love Ya Lots!

Happy Friday, from DT Annalisa! I am sharing a Valentine's Day card I created using three die sets from Time For Tea Designs and Distress Water Colour Pencils.

I started by using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and the Sweet Scalloped Dies on white cardstock to create two white panels. I adhered the stitched piece to a card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I added some splatter using Spun Sugar and Salvaged Patina Distress Watercolor Pencils, water, and a watercolour brush. I secured this splattered panel to the card base with double-sided foam tape.

For the hearts, I used the smallest heart die from the Heart Nesting Dies to cut out nine hearts from Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I coloured the hearts using the following Distress Watercolor Pencils: Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina, and Lumberjack Plaid.

For each heart, I first coloured the entire shape with one colour and then heat-set it using the Ranger Heat Tool. I layered on a second and third coat of the same colour, heat-setting in between layers.

By heat-setting throughout the process, I was able to control the water and keep the pigment in place.

Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere the hearts to the card base. I chose the 'love ya lots!' sentiment from the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards | White on Grey, attaching it with double-sided foam tape for added dimension.
