Artist Trading Card - "Love"

This is a Valentine ATC I made to play along with the Lindy’s Stamp Gang Color Challenge for February.

 

This is the Challenge color inspiration for this month:

In the video, I don't show how I made the background or the heart embellishments. I will try my best to explain my process. Be sure to check out the supply list below!

The Background:

How I Made the Hearts:

First, I put down some freezer paper. Then I took the Crafter's Workshop "Spilled Hearts" Stencil and some Golden Molding Paste. I applied the molding paste (in a fairly thick layer) thru the stencil right onto the freezer paper. Then, I let the hearts dry for at least 12 hours until they were completely dry. When they were dry, I used a thin metal spatula to get underneath the hearts and picked them up. It is important the paste is completely dry because if it’s not, they will get ruined when you try to peel them up off the freezer paper. Et voila! Instant heart embellishments.  

You could do this with any kind of stencil that has a lot of open space. My mind is reeling with the possibilities!

Here is the Step by Step Process for this ATC:
