2. Remove the masking paper heart and stamp a tiny heart in the centre using black ink. Die cut a slightly bigger heart from masking paper. Cover the smaller motif. Stamp a medium-sized heart on top in Picked Raspberry distress oxide ink, then remove the mask.
3. Die cut another heart, slightly bigger than the pink stamp, from masking paper and layer on top. Stamp a larger heart in black ink and remove the mask. Stamp ‘Hugs & kisses’ towards the bottom of the greeting in black ink.
4. Add another sentiment below using black ink. Trim the panel to 10.5cm x 13.5cm. Embellish with clear heart gems. Matt onto a white blank, then add shimmer to the black hearts and sentiment.
