Here’s a card my dd (15) created, using an image I did with a simple mask and the new Heart Strings set. I took a bunch of pix of the masking part, so you can see how easy this really was to do.

Finished card:

Stamp sets used: Heart Strings Digital images: Conversation Heart Words (freebie)    Colors: Triart/Copics    Inks: Memento-Black;  Brilliance-Pearlescent Sky Blue   Extras: ribbon-stash; circle punch 1.5 and 1 1/8″, scallop punch 1.5″

How to create the heart/flower:

Step 1:

Stamp the single swirl image on plain copy paper and cut out. Don’t worry about the dots, just cut out the swirl part and heart.  Use a 1″ circle punch and punch out a mask for the center. I use ZIG 2 way glue on the back of my masks, to make them sticky. (let dry before using or you won’t be able to remove it..lol)*

Step 2:

Place your circle mask in the center of your card stock. Use a transparency to figure out where to stamp your first image. (Stamp the image on the transparency with staz on ink, and lay it over the circle)

Step 3:

Stamp the first swirl.

Step 4:

Now place the swirl mask over the image you just stamped, and carefully stamp the image a second time. I tried to line up my swirls so the base would be at the edge of the circle mask, and the outer edge of the swirl would just overlap the ’stem’ of the previously stamped image.

Step 5: repeat step 4 (carefully moving the mask to the last stamped image as you work your way around the circle mask) Watch the angle of the stem portion of the image, so they lean the right way.

Continue stamping until you have completed the circle.

Step 6:

Remove the circle mask, and stamp the XO image inside. Color as you like. (as you can see in the card above, I cut out this image following the line of the top of the swirl.)
