LOTV Sending Love


Hey Peeps...

I'm sharing another Valentine's card today..  this time using this cute little mouse from the LOTV Sending Love stamp set.  

I coloured and fussy cut the mouse, using a dry embossing tool on the back and a soft pad underneath to give it the rounded appearance.  Then I created the background.  I cut a pierced circle from gold mirri, then cut another plain circle, which I embossed with hearts.  After the embossing, I used Distress Oxides to colour, then adhered the circles together and onto my stitched square background, using foam pads to adhere the mouse and balloon. 

Lastly, I die cut the 'love' and 'you' words, which I adhered to the circle.

The Greetery Shapely Hearts


Hi Lovelies...

Well, as it's getting close to Valentine's Day, I thought I better get out some hearts!  

I've used a die set from The Greetery called Shapely Hearts - and being inspired by a card I spotted on Pinterest, I blended Distress Inks in various reds and pinks onto the die cut hearts.  

Then I adhered all the hearts onto my card blank... adding a die cut sentiment - I used the word 'love' from Impression Obsession which I cut from gold mirri card, backing with black as a shadow.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the word 'you' from a set by Whimsy Stamps.

Uniko Picked Posies


Hi Lovelies..

I've bee playing with the Uniko Picked Posies stencils again - this time onto a square card.  

I stencilled the flowers and leaves with Distress Inks, then splattered gold watercolour paint over the panel... believe me it looks better in real life than any photo can show!  Then I diecut a birthday word from gold mirri card, using white for the shadow to make it stand out.  I added that with foam tape to the centre of the floral panel, then adhered then panel to my card base with fun foam to give depth.
