...LSC142: Infused With Love, and Blog Candy Winner

This is my submission for today's Limited Supplies Challenge at SCS. We were to use 2-3 stamps (one had to be a heart or sentiment), use one pattern of designer paper, use one embellishment, use one specialty tool, use limited layers, and use any coloring tools. I made a 5-1/2" square card with Old Olive cardstock, and sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink with a Sponge Dauber. I used designer paper from BasicGrey's Infuse 6 X 6 paper pad, and cut it to measure 5-3/8" square. I used the flourish from Baroque Motifs, and stamped in onto the designer paper using the chocolate ink again. The striped paper is attached to the olive cardstock using SNAIL Adhesive.

The side panel is Chocolate Chip cardstock measuring 4-1/2" X 4", and So Saffron cardstock measuring 4-3/8" X 3-7/8". The saffron piece is stamped in chocolate ink using the Sanded background stamp, and the "love" sentiment from the set Love & Joy. The two pieces are attached to each other, then attached to card base. I stamped the "merry" sentiment from Love & Joy in olive, and punched it out using the 3/4" Circle Punch. The edges are sponged in chocolate, and the 1/8" Handheld Punch was used to make the hole for the Rhinestone Brad to be added. A scrap piece of chocolate cardstock is punched using the 1" Circle Punch, and the two circles were attached using a Dimensional. These circles were used to make the "o" in "love", and are popped up from the card base using a dimensional again. The heart itself is a piece of chipboard from On Board Accents, and is covered with the same striped paper used on the card base. I traced the shape onto the back of the designer paper, cut it out, then sponged the edges with chocolate ink. The paper was glued to the heart using a spray adhesive, then the edges were trimmed with scissors and sanded with a Sanding Block. The heart is attached to the card base using strips of foam tape.
