This morning I watched a Reel on Instagram by Shanoukiart where she quickly scribbled a heart on texty paper and cut it out to make her own embellishment, and I knew I wanted to give it a try. As I expected, it was a bit trickier than it looks in her video (at least for me), but I made it work.
I chose some "rejected but saved" glittery spray papers from my stash (note to self – February may need to be my own "Daily Spray" challenge), which turned out to be perfect when I chose little areas of the sprayed patterns to draw my hearts. I decided I wanted to use them for the Sketch from The Paper Players.
I found a gelliarts background that I had made with thread back in September 2022 that I thought would be the perfect background, so I cut it with a stitched rectangle die cut. And because using my prints in my art & trying new techniques are two things that make me very happy, I'm joining the "What Makes Me Happy" Challenge at the Cut It Up Challenge.
I looked at multiple colors, and finally went with a yellow strip for the hearts and a bright purple card base. I really love this color combination.
I finished with a vintage wood block sentiment from Savvy Stamps.
My sketchy hearts also took their inspiration from the TGIF Challenge.
Stephanie that background is amazing and your card is a wonderful riot of bright colours. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
I love how you used those backgrounds and they are perfect with the sketchy hearts you created. Your background has a vintage 60s vibe and I love it. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week
