Argh Moments

Yesterday I was playing with the new Sealed with Love stamp set, I was trying a masking technique with heart shapes. I had been thinking about how to do it for a few days. I love the hearts but didn't want to use 'typical' valentines day colours. I love Red and white, but wanted to try something different.

I used the colour combination of Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Peekaboo peach with Calypso Coral, really random I know. But it worked I think.

I created a mask by die cutting a heart, I would suggest using the Sweet and Sassy Framelits. I also created heart masks using post it notes and the Full small heart from Sealed with Love. I used the masks to ensure that the hearts crossed as few times as possible.

I was really happy with the result, but then I went a bit doolally. It didn't fit straight on the base, so to fix it I altered the side, I accidently then cut the same time and ruined the heart.

I was so disappointed. So I decided to cut out the centre and use it as a card.

I will show you the results tomorrow. I love love love it! But I am bias.
