You are loved

Hello there my sweet crafty friends!  I'm up on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with a card that uses several stamp sets and Fri-Dies.  I love how well CAS-ual Fridays stamps and dies "play" together!

To make my card I started by cutting the hearts from Heartboard Fri-Dies out of a piece of white card stock.  I cut one heart then cut a second, overlapping them.  I was able to "fill in" the overlap by using the largest heart, insetting it in the heart on the left.  I wanted some watercolor to peek through the hearts so I used some distress inks underneath to achieve that (Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Peacock Feathers).  I added a few water drops and some Peacock Feather splatters to the background too.  I popped up the white panel with the die cut hearts using some foam dimensional tape.  The sentiment is made from 3 different stamp sets.  "hey there" is from Girlfriend, "girl" is from Calling All Sistahs, and "you are loved" is from Hope Ribbon.  I love being able to make unique sentiments like this by mixing and matching!  I added a few gold glitter hearts to my card (cut using Heartboard Fri-Dies), along with a scalloped gold border.  The arrow is also from Heartboard Fri-Dies, I cut it from black card stock and added some glossy accents on top of it.  A bit of washi tape finishes things up.

I hope you're inspired to mix and match some of your CAS-ual Friday stamp sets, I'd love to see what you make!  If you're interested in purchasing any of the supplies I used today I have a discount code for you!
