CFS Release - Puffy Heart Love

Hi Folks! It's official, I puffy heart love the new set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps called ... Puffy Heart Love! What's not to love about this beautifully scripted font that incorporates a heart? It's the kind of stamp that can absolutely carry a card all on its own, without any other embellishments. For this card I stamped the sentiment directly to the black card base, and then again on the pink patterned paper. I cut inside the lines of the pink heart and adhered it on top of the black base.

The sentiment on this card is similarly embossed in white, and then I blended a rainbow of inks on the card base. After I was done I wasn't thrilled with how the heart blended in with the rest of the sentiment, so I made a mask by stamping the sentiment on a scrap piece of paper, cutting out the inside of the heart, and using it as a stencil to blend blue ink inside the heart. 

After I was done, I just couldn't throw the stencil scrap away, so it got turned into a card! It's the bottom left card. Since I only intended to use it for a stencil, the black ink does not have a solid impression, but I thought it had a nice shabby chic look to it. The ink from the stenciling makes a nice spotlight on the heart. And since the inside of the heart was missing, I was able to easily see what patterned paper looked good by holding the stencil over a bunch of different patterns.

There are several other cute sentiments in this set, but I couldn't stop using the puffy heart one.
