Forever Love with Blockhead Stamps

Hi Dreamers!
Back today with more Valentine's day love.  On this project, I used a floral stamp from Blockheads Stamps for the background, custom made Shimmer Spray, and Distress Markers.








Materials List:
Stamps: Large Tulips,  Love and Romance Half Sheet all from Blockheads
InksOnyx Black Versa Fine, Barn Door and Vintage Photo Distress Ink: Spun Sugar Distress Re-inker
Distress Markers
Sunflower Sparkle Perfect Pearls
Mini Misters
Spray bottle with water
Cardstock: red, brown, white
Red Rhinestone






Instructions:


  • Tip: Make your own Shimmer Spray with Perfect Pearls and Distress reinkers---- In a Mini Mister put a couple pinches of Perfect Pearls, three drops of Spun Sugar re-inker, and water.  Shake
  • Make card base from red CS
  • To make the background: Ink the Large Tulip stamp with Barn Door ink--spray the inked stamp with water --- just a few spritzes.  Now stamp onto the white CS  --gives a nice muted image. 



  • Color the Tulips with Distress Markers
  • Distress the white CS with Vintage Photo ink.  
  • Spray with the Perfect Pearls Shimmer mist spray and let dry or dry with heat tool.
  • Stamp "Forever" with Onyx Black ink
  • Stamp  heart (from Love and Romance Set) with Barn Door ink; cut out and distress with Vintage Photo
  • Add to card with dimensionals.
  • Place Rhinestone on heart
