Valentine with a diecut stencil


Hi everyone, it's been a busy few weeks but I'm glad to finally have some time in the craft room again!

This solid heart was die cut from an acrylic paint cling wrapped background. I then diecut a dazzling heart from heavy card and used it as a stencil with transparent texture paste. The trickiest part was lifting the stencil! Had to use tweezers and be careful not to touch any of the wet paste.

I'm linking up to a few challenges:

The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge has this gorgeous inspiration pic.

    How clever to use the stencil paste over your heart die. This just pops right off the card! I love that textured look.

    Cool Valentine card, Cathy! It's a great idea to make your own stencil with a die. You did a great job with lifting the stencil without touching the wet paste. Hideko xx

    What a great idea to use the transparent texture paste over the top of the this beautiful bright red heart Cathy and to make your own stencil from a die, also the bit of texture on the white card in the background is pretty too, and it all looks great on the black
    card. x
