Hi! Here is the card that I have made for my husband for Valentine’s Day using Lawn Fawn’s cute ‘Octopi My Heart’ stamp and die sets.
I coloured the octopi first then added lots of dots with the darker colour, then used a blender marker and dotted on top of them to give this effect. I have seen a few samples where this technique has been used and I really liked it so I thought I’d give it a go here!
Other supplies used: Lawn Fawn Stripy Backdrop Die and Cross-Stitch Circle Die, Kaisercraft banner die, Spectrum Noirs and papers from Lawn Fawn – Perfectly Plaid Fall and Beachside. Also Lawn Fawn inkpads in Merman and Guava.
Thanks for popping by today, have a great week! Take care – Karen 🙂

Great card. I really like how you’ve used a kind of clashing background, really makes the image pop
