Stampin' Fun Friday is back.
No video, though. I completely forgot to videotape the process until it was too late. Oh well. Next time!
This week's layout features background tone-on-tone stamping, a stamped sentiment and inking the greeting punched label. Stamping the background of the card really makes the design "pop". I had originally left the background "as is" and it just wasn't working for me. At all. By adding a simple dot background the whole thing just came to life.
I stamped the greeting on some cream paper, punched it out wtih an EK Success Punch and inked the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.
The little hearts were all punched with a Stampin' Up punch. I added some cute little clear SU heart buttons to a few of the hearts.

I bought that same little pad from SU, and now I'm wishing they'd do little 6X6 books for everything. :)

ME TOO! I even went on their website to see if they offered anything else in this size! Addicted to the 6x6 paper pads! :)
