The image and background are all one stamp. I stamped it on masking paper and cut out the heart so that I two separate masks. Using my MISTI, I put the heart mask on watercolour paper, inked up the background of the stamp with Distress Black Soot, spritzed with water, and stamped. Let it dry, then removed the heart mask, and put the background mask down. Inked up the heart with Distress Candied Apple, spritzed, and stamped. I got a little bit of red seepage under the masking paper but not too bad. I used a red marker to define the edges of the heart where needed.
Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, bordered with black cs, and popped it up on cream cs.
It's for the following challenges:
The Male Room Challenge "Love You"

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!
