Two Step Stenciling ~ Hearts

  Hi there.  For today on the Unity blog, I am sharing two step stenciling with hearts.  This was made using coordinating stamps and stencils with ink blending.

Sentiment:
True love 4 ever.

Happy for you.

These chatty hearts can be used for more than Valentines.  Here, I made a wedding card with a mix of stamping, ink blending and patterned paper.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this card using two step stenciling.  To begin, prepare an A2 sized card base.  Then, trim or die-cut coordinating patterned paper layers and frames.  Also, die-cut bigger hearts using scraps from the patterned paper pieces.  Next, onto white cardstock, stencil the #1 hearts using kraft color ink blending, making note of where you placed the first stencil.  Then, using the #2 stencil, place it over the panel at the same place.  Add ink blending for those hearts in a different color.   Also, die-cut or trim the panel of blended hearts to fit the background pieces.  Next, stamp the two small sentiments inside of two of the hearts and also stamp and trim the bigger sentiment.  Finally, layer it all with glue, flat double-sided tape and cording, to finish.

And, this is another look at today's project.

I share a quick video here, outlining this project process.
