Sweet Stamps- Valentine or Love

The Sweet Stamps Challenge this week is Valentine or Love.

 Oh I had a messy awesome time making this card!  I took Tattered Rose Distress Ink, dabbed it on my nonstick craft mat and spritzed it with a mix I made.....Yep...I took a mini mister and added Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations Paint and made my own mist.  I do not have the recipe, I just stir the paint with the wrong end of my paintbrush, and then place it in the mini mister and stir-the paint is just the small amount that is on the end of my paintbrush-~ 1/2" or so..... repeat 1-2 more times until the spritz is the amount of shimmer you desire. Next, I used Fired Brick Distress Ink and spritzed with CI Fairy Dust paint and dragged it through....I dried after each time dragging the paper through and kept repeating until I was happy with the color. I made a couple sheets of this while I was at it..... Very Shimmery....... : )
 Next, I took Ranger Distress Markers and colored the image- lightest colors first- flowers with Tattered Rose and Fired Brick, and the greenery with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint. There is enough ink on the stamp to huff and re-stamp, so I made another and will use it for an ATC.....

 This background is very shimmery and has just a tad more Fired Brick in the background- and I hope you can see the shimmer : )   I cut thin strips of the Coordinations cardstock and made a weave pattern for the background. I cut the lower portion of the rose image and added it over the weave. I thought it was fun to see just a portion of the image used in another way. I added  border stamp around the perimeter in White ink- can you see the dots?
