One Layer Valentines Card ft. Cool Cat and Quilted Heart Background Stamps

Hi Everyone, today I am back a love themed card, perfect for Valentines Day!  I've had these cute little Cool Cat stamps by MFT for ages and I have finally got around to using them!

I don't have the co-ordinating dies for this stamp set so it is perfect for one layer cards and masking techniques!

I firstly cut and stamped out all the masks I needed on to Hunkydory masking paper - I like this masking paper because you stamp on one side and then remove the backing paper when you are ready to use your mask...not too fiddly! 

 I then began stamping out my images onto to my card panel which was a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of copic friendly cardstock (250gsm) and ensured I worked forwards (closest images first) to backwards (stamped the images furthest away last)

I covered the wall background with a light layer of spun sugar distress ink and then used the Quilted Heart Background stamp from Simon Says stamp to stamp out the detail on the wall...I used spun sugar again for this giving a tone on tone background.

I used some more distress inks to shade the baseboards and carpet/flooring.

The images were coloured with my copic markers (colours listed below).

For my sentiment I used a 'love' scripty word die cut out several times from coloured cardstock with the top layer coloured with my copic markers for an ombre look.

I coated the 'love' word with Nuvo shimmer pen and a layer of glossy accents :)

I hope you liked this card!  If you'd like to see how I made it with a video tutorial just click the image below!
