The Healing Power of Love 💕

Today I am playing along with Colour INKspiration Challenge #194 over on Facebook. 

This colour combo made me think of Fall sunsets so I chose to play with the Prairie Grass stamp set as the images in that make me think of sunsets.

 

The Just Us Girls has a challenge #790 this week to use a stencil so wanted to incorporate one into my design to play along with them as well.

Since I wanted a sunset vibe I couldn’t find a stencil in my collection that fit the design dancing around in my brain so I decided to create a stencil mask using a heart die from a retired set and a scrap of red paper that was large enough to cover my card base. I blended the Secret Sea, Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral palette to create a sunset vibe and then stamped the Grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set.

Love how it turned out! The ‘Sending the Healing power of Love” sentiment goes perfect with the heart vibe from the stencil. I added a few In Colour dots and decided I needed to balance the card so added some hand stitched corners using my Stamp Write Marker. I am going to really miss having a colour coordinated marker for new colours now that they’ve decided to retire the Stamp Write Marker line.

I also added some grass on the inside of the card but otherwise left it blank for a personal message to be written by the sender. Added a bit of grass to the envelope as well because friends don’t let friends envelopes go out into the world naked! 

I can’t believe it’s back to school already next week! What’s your favourite thing about Fall? 

Happy Stampin’
