Hello! You may have seen that a couple days ago I celebrated my 20th anniversary with my hubby! Well...even though our plans involved staying home and making a special dinner instead of anything more extravagant this particular year, you know I had to make a special card, right? So...I pulled out some of my favorite Simon Says Stamp supplies, and went to work! I actually made 3 cards...then chose this one as my favorite to give him.
I started off by creating the pattern on the background with a the Faceted Stripes stencil and my Gold Sparkler shimmer powder - I love using shimmer powders with stencils! I used watercolor cardstock. layed my stencil over the top, dusted a bit of the shimmer powder over the stencil, then misted with water before removing the stencils.
Once that had time to dry nice and thoroughly, I chose a favorite part of the design and die cut the medium size of the Wonky Hearts dies from that panel, and then stamped several sentiments from the fabulous I Still Do stamp set by CZ Design on it. Love how perfectly they all fit together!
I created a card base from kraft cardstock, then die cut a Wonky Rectangle from Cream cardstock - just a bit softer than stark white cardstock, and felt like it fit the colors better.
Layered everything together, adding the heart with some foam adhesive, then finished off with some Nuvo Dream Drops in Gold Luxe, and Crystal Drops in Dark Walnut. Can you see the bit of sparkle from the shimmer powders? And yet it definitely feels like a masculine card still!

What a sweet sentiment, Heather. The glittery stenciled heart is a perfect choice to pair with it. tfs
