Happy Saturday

Happy Valentine's Day my crafty peeps!

I hope everyone is having a awesome day, I am up early running on a few hours sleep but I wanted to do a few things today.  I am making homemade tomato vegetable soup in slow cooker, and might make some blueberry bran muffins too.

Here is a card I made last year for Valentine's Day but I love the way it turned out.

Valentine's Day Is primarily for lovers. But, you can also celebrate Valentine's Day with your friends. Strengthen the bond of friendship with a simple act of love. Let your friend know how much you enjoy her companionship with a Valentine's Day card.

Hugs, Karen

Loads of Love

Hi my Crafty Peeps!  

Today I am making a Valentines Day card for my nephew Lucas using the "Loads of Love" stamp set.

Details: (recipe)

• Create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base out of Natural White cardstock, then cut a piece of dark blue shimmer paper that I had laying around with the largest of the Spellbinders Nestabilities A2 Distressed Edges  card creator set.  I also cut out of watercolour paper the next size down of the above die set.

• Then I stamped the trees from the "White Christmas" stamp set using Black Stazon ink for my background.  I coloured the trees with Baked Brown Sugar ink and then I water coloured the background using the aqua painter and Soft Sky ink.

• Stamp the images onto a scrap piece of watercolour paper and colour using Night of Navy, Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hello Honey, Black, Real Red, Basic Gray, and Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers or Classic Stampin' Pads

• I applied some Crystal Effect to the light, hubcaps and windows for a glass effect and also to the hearts. Dazzling Details was used on background to look like snow.

• Added a tag with the sentiment and wound some Red Bakers Twine around the whole thing before attaching to the card base.

Hope you like it.

Hugs, Karen
