Stamping Through Stencil

Hi everyone.  Back with another stamping through stencil using the same heart stencil as THIS CARD.  There are still a few days left to play along with our CAS Mix Up August Challenge - Stamping Through Stencil.  
Jenny is our host.

I loved how my first heart stencil worked, so did a second card using it again.  Placed it over my card front panel and secured with tape before lightly sponging with Picked Raspberry distress ink.  After watercolouring the flowers, I wasn't thrilled with the colour combination, so sponged salty ocean over the picked raspberry background and ended up with this pretty background colour. :)

Stamped the image, Peony Stems & Blossoms - retired (Poppy Stamps) in black ink and clear heat embossed.  The blossoms and stems were watercoloured with Zigs (they are so bright and happy colours!).  I placed the stencil back overtop and outlined the heart with a thin black marker.  It made a huge difference to the design.  Finished by stamping a simple sentiment (A Little Sentimental - Clearly Besotted) near the bottom of the heart.  The card front was popped up from the base to some dimension.

Such a happy and cheery card and the addition of the black fine liner makes that pretty heart pop even more. A stunner of a card Loll x. Thanks for the love on my blog x.

I love this pretty blue you ended up with Loll and the yellow flowers look beautiful over the top and the black embossing and outlining of the heart together with the black stamped sentiment give a wonderful crisp look to it. x

The little color switch in the background turned out very pretty! Love the happy yellow flowers, and the outlined heart pulls it all together with beautiful definition. You'd think it was all one stamp!
