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.
