CAS(E) This Sketch #59

Hello Everyone,
This week I am playing along with CAS(E) this sketch. I was really intrigued by this week's sketch - ti is very minimalist and really had me thinking. At first I couldn't come up with anything and then I ended up with two cards! Funny how that happens - I will post them separately so that I can link up both cards.

So this is the first card that I came up with. I was at Heather's Stamping Haven here in Ottawa - my favourite local craft/stamping store and I bought two new sets from Penny Black. I used Heart Swatches on this card. I love all the images in this set, but this tall narrow heart made me think of the feathers in the sketch. I inked it up in Bubble Gum Shadow Ink and then masked it and stamped again in Red Royal Shadow ink. The sentiment is from the other new set I bought: From the Heart. I felt the hearts were blending into each other too much, so I outlined them with my Copic fine liner. I like the result - a very simple valentine. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping,
Meg
