Stencil Stamped Background - Stampers Anonymous Valentine Curation

Stencils can be a versatile tool. You can obviously stencil with them, which will give you one pattern, and then you can stamp with them which will give you another version of the pattern. For the background of today's card, I used the Heartstruck stencil from the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Valentine Curation as a stamp. 

 

Here is the video tutorial of the card, and below are the close-ups so you can see the details add to the finished card. 

In this top left corner of the card you can see the watercolor stamping of the scroll from the Shabby French CMS087 stamp, as well as the twine bow, and the script stamping I did on the paper that I stamped the Cupid on.

This photo of the top right corner really shows the hearts from the stencil stamping as well as more of the scrip in the cupid word and image. 

 If you wanted you could pop up the cupid with some foam squares. It would add some dimension, but even just the extra layer of cardstock added some fabulous dimension. 

 This close-up really lets you see the script stamping behind the sentiment. See how protecting the script with the Micro-glaze really protected itwhen I watercolored the letters?

 

 Here iin the bottom you can see the stamps I added from the Love Struck CMS082 set. 

 

Another card that was pretty simple, but now you can see how each of the steps added little details that really set this card apart.
