This week at Just Us Girls #619 the challenge is to make your own stencil! I used one I made and another one I bought, and I had to use them both at the same time for part of this process!
I got out my only heart shaped dies which are Simon Says Stamp Wonky Hearts to make a stencil, but neither heart was the right size for this card...so I got a sheet of acetate and hand cut a wonky shaped heart of my own. I used my new stencil to ink blend pinks and red inside the heart. Next I put a My Favorite Things stencil called Full of Heart over the hand cut heart to stencil darker red and coral hearts over the ink blended background. I then took out my Picket Fence Distress ink and moved the MFT hearts stencil over just a hair to stencil again and make a shadow effect on the hearts that were already there.
I let that panel dry and cut out the Paper Smooches Linked Hearts die in gold as well as my Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched ABCs L, O, V, and E dies. Then I punched three little gold hearts with my old Stampin' Up! Owl die that has accessories such as this heart. I popped up the LOVE letters and glued the other die cuts flush to the card. I decided to mat the white panel with gold to dress up the card a bit, and it was done!
I hope you will join us this week and make a stencil with your dies!

Love this with the touches of gold added! Very creative of you to improvise to get the size heart you wanted! Brilliant!
Love that background and the gold LOVE looks so cool! I feel lucky to have seen this IRL! Excellent card! Enjoy your Sunday!
Good for you for hand cutting a heart, Carol. I love the hearts within the heart and the shadow effect looks fabulous.
Stunning and so creative Carol. Love the colour variant on that gorgeous heart and swooning over the gold additions.
WOW! Talk about creativity! Your hearts upon hearts make for a card totally infused with love!
