I managed to squeeze in some time today to get a card made for a couple of challenges. I’ve combined the sketch from The Paper Players with the technique from Shopping Our Stash.
I started by die cutting a heart from white cardstock. I dripped some pink and red inks onto a piece of acetate and pushed the heart into the puddles for the smooshing technique. While the ink was drying, I cut a few more hearts so I could stack them all for dimension. I decided to keep the card base very clean and simple by not embellishing the red cardstock for the top of the sketch, but I used shimmery white cardstock for the card base to give a subtle hint of something special.
Sweet and simple and pretty quick to make! Don’t tell my husband, but he’ll be getting this card on our anniversary next week.

Such CAS superbness! Love the clean look, Patricia. Your smooshed heart has such lovely depths – it’s a very effective technique. I’m glad you found time for joining in with us at The Paper Players this week.
