I began by die-cutting the heart shape from Distress Watercolor card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix True Love Colorize Thinlits to use as a stencil.
I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create 3 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels and applied Kitsch Flamingo, Fossilized Amber and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks through the stencil using Mini Round Blending Tools. With the stencil still in place, I applied a heavier application of the same ink through the Mini Layering Stencils from Set 59 using Tiny Blending Tools to create tone-on-tone patterns.
I stamped the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Love Notes on to the panels, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival ink.
I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to fit inside my stamping platform and die-cut the Simon Says Stamp Forgotten Garden dies which co-ordinate with the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Forgotten Garden stamp set. I will keep this as a template to ensure that the stamped images match up exactly with the die-cuts in future. I placed the stamps into the respective negative spaces and picked up with the lid of the platform. I replaced the die-cuts back into the spaces and stamped the images, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival ink.
I coloured the Forgotten Garden die-cuts using Distress Watercolor Pencils, Carved Pumpkin, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet and a Distress Detailer Brush. I fixed the die-cuts in place using Distress Collage Medium. I added splatters by flicking the colour from the pencils with a wet brush on to the panels and dried.
I applied the matching Distress Oxide inks through Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts Stencil to add more interest to the backgrounds.
I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Love Shadow die from Distress Watercolor card, coloured the shadow pieces to match the hearts, added the die-cut words and fixed to the panels with foam squares to add dimension.
I matted the panels on to Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock trimmed 1/8" larger and fixed to top folding A2 white card blanks. To finish I added Trinity Stamps Creamy Vanilla Heart Sprinkles.
