Color Hues Color Challenge #101 – Red & Kraft As you know I don’t do a lot of stenciling but I’m trying to change that and this is one of my efforts. I took a, gifted to me, homemade puzzle heart stencil, some Kraft CS and Festive Berries ink and added the heart. With the ink still wet I added some clear heat set embossing so it has some shine. Initially I wasn’t quite sure where I was going with this card so I set it aside for a few hours. Then I wondered what it might look like if I added some ribbon and found this shiny twine which I added. It needed more so I pulled out a homemade dotted circle stencil and using a brush and some Vintage photo I added the small circles randomly.
The sentiment is from a small Creative Expressions set to which I added the silver scroll that was leftover from a different card. I was satisfied with the end result and in fact, actually like the card. Its always a bonus if I really like something I make as a lot of the time I don’t.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your taking the time.

Lovely card. I like how the heart shines. Your bow is perfect. The little scroll is a great touch. The dots were a good addition.

The puzzle heart stencil is awesome! I think the added twine was just the right final touch! Taking a pause when creating and walking away for a bit generally works for me as well. Thanks for starting the New Year out with us at Color Hues.
