Final Valentine for this year. I was inspired by this card that I saw on the Penny Black Facebook page yesterday. I loved the look of the soft bokeh/cloud oval behind TaeEun's little bears as they floated through the sky.
For my card, I again pulled out an oldie but goodie from my drawer of Penny Black stamps.
I started by stamping and coloring my image. I then die cut the panel using the MFT A2 stitched rectangles dienamics.
Next, I pulled out an oval Spellbinders die and cut it on acetate to create an oval aperture that would "contain" my stenciled clouds. I also re stamped and cut out my image from masking paper to cover my pup and his balloon before using using the MFT cloud stencil with some Summer Sky Memento ink to create my clouds.
Assembled my card:
Card Base
Filler Layer
Basic Gray Mat
Filler Layer
Focal Layer
I stamped, embossed and die cut my Mama Elephant sentiment and attached to my focal panel.
Finally, I ran a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen over my balloon to give it some nice sparkle.
