ATSM #80 - Photo Inspiration

Valentine's day is nearing and its time for us to create cards for this day. So, this week the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and more... is just right, a Photo Inspiration. The photo has so many elements that will inspire you, the colors, the elements, theme.. Also, I would like to welcome our talented Guest Designer Karen of Made by Meadie, with yet another amazing creation :)
.

The winner will receive a wonderful prize from our sponsor this week Deedee's Digis. Take a peek at their store here

I was inspired by the tiny little hearts kept in a box in this photo and wanted to create the same thing on my card. I used the sketch from Retrosketches #99 and the some colors from Runways Inspired challenge #52 - Dennis Basso. Since it is Lovey dovey, I will also link it up to Sentimental Sunday's #191 - Lovey Dovey Challenge :)
To make this card,  I created a stencil on a card stock of those diagonal parallel lines (using an exacto knife). Following the sketch I added some Modeling paste from Liquitex over the stencil. Added some yellow ink splashes on the card base. I used a jar n tiny heart stamps (from Recollections stamp set) to create the jar with hearts. Jar was stamped(using Hero arts Chalk ink - night) n fuzzy cut, heart were stamped along with masking in Pool ink from Tim Holtz. Then I stamped and fuzzy cut the butterflies (from Martha Stewart set). I aslo cut a star (using Momenta Die) from Vellum. Tied American crafts twine around the neck of the jar along with a stamped tag of sentiment :) Finally, I assembled all the elements on the card base.
 

There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. I am excited to see what you will come up with ....

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment :)

    this is a gorgeous card Deepti! I love how it is a CAS card, but some much work has gone into the card, and you have put so many details! the modeling paste stripes are very clever!
