It's February 1st and Love is in the Air! Such a fun time to make cards for those you love and want to let them know. What better way than with a hand made card!

This week's challenge card is a little different from your traditional valentine's colors. I just love blending bright colors these days. I used the Clearly Besotted Splattered Shapes Stencil for the focal point of my card.

I began with a piece of heavy weight white cardstock that I taped the stencil over and masked off the heart image. I then used distress oxides to ink blend from top to bottom. Leaving the stencil in place I then added some shiny texture glaze over the whole image. This will give it a glass like look. I set that aside to dry. I then die cut the You 3 times out of more white cardstock for thickness. 

I then used a stitched square die to frame my stenciled heart. Using smooth white cardstock I created a diy plaid panel. I just used some stencils and stamps that I had in my stash to make the plaid with coordinating distress oxide colors. I also trimmed down very thin strips of gold cardstock to add a bit of shine to my plaid panel. I adhered it all to an A2 card base. I heat embossed the sub-sentiment using gold embossing powder and added a few gold sequins.

I hope you have enjoyed the card I made today and got some inspiration! For your convenience I provided affiliate links to all of the products I have used for this card.
