a sketchy challenge...

Through these crazy times I find I love making cards and sending them to my granddaughter twice a week.
We still FaceTime occasionally but I really like thinking of her opening a card from Grandpa and Grandma!
This will be one of those cards.
The larger heart, MFT Die-namics “Pierced Heart STAX, and lower section of the card were made with white card stock that I did a Stencil Print to with MFT Mix-able Stencils “Full of Heart” inked up with Distress inks candied apple, wilted violet, faded jeans, mowed lawn, mustard seed and carved pumpkin.
Next I spritzed the stencil with water and laid it on the white cad stock applying pressure to the back.
Once lifted I allowed it to dry and cut out the pieces to apply to the base card.
Both were backed with pink card stock.
Also with the pink card stock and the dies I cut out another heart and punched out another heart with a mini Marcy heart punch.
On yet another piece of the pink card stock I stamped the sentiment from MFT STamps “Greetings & Salutations” (appropriate for this time) with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
To finish I cut it into a strip and flagged the end before applying it to the card.

  1. A fabulous stencil print Arlene, and a gorgeous card. We are gradually coming out of lock down, and I have finally been able to hug my grandies!
    Stay safe
