Hi Lovelies!
Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's To Love and To Be Loved Release Blog Hop! We're make a pretty shaker card today!
The coloring areas of the sweet images in the Always and Forever Stamp Set are all small so they are easy and quick to color and this semi-fancy card will come together faster than you think!
Let's start by reviewing the key supplies for today's cards:

CARD HIGHLIGHTS
Stamp all the selected images in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white cardstock
Color with the Copic or other alcohol ink markers.
Use the white POSCA marker to add highlights to the hearts carried by the doves.
Use the matching dies to die-cut the colored images.
Ink blend a 4 1/4" x 6" piece of white cardstock lightly with Heather and Lilac Pawsitively Saturated Inks.
Use the floral heart outline die to cut a heart-shaped opening into the ink-blended panel.
Using double-sided Craft Tape, adhere a 4" x 4"clear acrylic sheet to the back of the heart-shaped opening.
On the back side of the same panel, apply Foam Strips around the opening and around the perimeter of the card.
Adhere a piece of 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" pink cardstock to the bottom section of the front flap of a 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" card base. Place a small puddle of iridescent sequins on top of the pink panel where the heart-shaped opening will be.
Adhere the ink-blended panel over the sequins and to the card base.
Apply craft glue to adhere the die-cuts and stamp with the sentiment.
Cover the clear heart opening and splatter with Picket Fence Distress Paint and then adhere a few more sequins to finish.
The white splatter softens the looks of the card somehow and brings all the little die-cuts together.
The pink background helps the sequins stand out.
Is there a sweeter sentiment than "Will you be my FOREVER?" ? So so SWEET!!!
Last looks!
