(This is my second post today).
And you may succeed! I just had to give my mojo another chance to show itself, even if just in a small way. So taking some tips out of todays Clean & Simple Online Card Class and Hero Arts' current contest of Hugs and Kisses, here is what I managed to come up with and I am much happier.
Paper: Hero Arts layering papers (Pool); Neenah
Ink: Glimmer Mist (Turquoise Blue); CTMH (Lagoon dye ink)
Stamps: Hero Arts sentiment (CG155)
Other: Fiskars Heart Punch; Double Heart Punch (not sure of manufacturer)
In the card class Jennifer introduced a die layering technique, but instead of a die I decided to use my heart punches, punching 6 white layers for each heart and 1 layer from the patterned paper for each. I first spritzed the card with some glimmer mist because I felt it looked too plain and I also trimmed the card to be a 4 X 4 size.
After stamping the sentiment I felt that it was not prominent enough so I used my white gel pen and outlined some of the lines.
Thank you if you had the courage to pass by twice today!!!

Beautiful CAS card, Brenda! Well, at least you mojo is boosting. Great spritzing and love the hearts too!
This is lovely Brenda. I love the spritzed background.
I really like the colors you've used on this card! I think if Christmas cards can have non-traditional colors, then i would love to see non-traditional colors on Valentines cards too! That would be fun!
Great idea to use the patterned paper for the heart die! So cute.
Simple and gorgeous! This is perfect with the misting and subtle white outlines.
