Video: Valentine's Day Card with Shaped Stamping

Today I incorporated the shaped stamping technique into my Valentine's Day card. I started by drawing a heart shape on a piece of white cardstock with a pencil as a guide. 

Then I stamped various images from following stamp sets: CherubsLove NotesLove, and Peace.

FYI, I used following inks for my stamping: Butter Bar, Lime GreenFresh PeachTide Pool, Wet Cement. I added tiny dots using a tip of alcohol markers between my images to fill in the gaps. 

Next, I heat embossed my sentiment from the Love Stamp & Cut with white embossing powder on a piece of red cardstock. Then I mounted the sentiment banner on the card front using 3M foam tame. 

I finished off my card by attaching some diamond gemstones on both sides of my sentiment banner. 

I made a video tutorial to show you how to make a card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube

    Beautiful card! Thank you for the tip about putting the stamps you are going to use in a small container. So useful when using small and a number of stamps in a design!
