Concentric Hearts by Simon Says Stamp

This was a design by Nichol Spohr that I recreated and I just love it. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make it myself and it did not disappoint. I gave this card to my husband and the extra benefit was that it stayed in my house so I get to see it all the time. 😊

I almost never use the emboss resist technique where you heat emboss first and then ink, so it was fun to do it here and I loved the result.

Here is a link to Nichol’s video making her original card: https://youtu.be/UtTjiCjpU2k

Materials used:

• Large Stitched Rectangles (in hindsight I wish I had just cut cardstock to the right size so the ink didn’t get caught in the stitching detail)
• Concentric Hearts by Simon Says Stamp
• Xs and Os background stamp by My Favorite Things
• Distress oxide inks: Candied Apple, Saltwater Taffy, Tattered Rose
• From The Heart Messages by Simon Says Stamp
• White embossing powder
