I Called To Say I Love You

Hi my friends, it's 2 posts in one day Wednesday and I'm back to share another card I made with a Love Is In The Air theme, a super quick and easy card to make using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to create the background, Simon Says Stamp super cute Dial Phone from the Die-Cember release, Love Greetings mix stamp set and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alphanumeric Tiny Text Lower Thinlits to complete this declaration of love. And maybe you too are singing along with that beautiful song "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder.

I smooshed Worn Lipstick and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxides inks on to the craft mat on my Glass Media Mat and spritzed with water. I laid an A5 panel of Distress Watercolor card into the ink, dried and tapped back into the ink to pick up the remaining droplets.

I inked the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Love Greetings Mix with Intense Black ink and stamped at the bottom of the panel.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Dial Phone from Simon Says Stamp Black and Ultra White cardstock

I dipped my fingers into Distress Collage Medium Matte and rang them along a piece of black twine. I twisted the twine into loops and pressed on to the panel to resemble a telephone cord. I fixed the white dial section and black centre in place with Distress Collage Medium and popped the phone up on Sizzix Foam Adhesive to add dimension.

I added the black dial sections back into their negative spaces. I fixed Sizzix Adhesive Sheets to Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock and die-cut the sentiment using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alphanumeric Tiny Text Lower. And once again, my little pot of waste hearts from Tim Holtz/Sizzix Falling Hearts Thinlits came in handy, fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium and made shiny with a coat of Glossy Accents.

I matted the panel on to Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock and fixed to a white card blank.

I'll be back tomorrow to share another Tim Holtz/Sizzix Chapter 1 project, in the meantime, have fun with whatever you are creating.
