Valentine Bear

Happy Valentine's Day :) 

It's Friends with Flair day over at Unity. So I just had to make another Valentine card :) This little bear is actually a Christmas stamp.  However I have used him previously for a Birthday card and now a Valentine card. I like seasonal stamps that you can  use throughout the year.  You can find him here Christmas Teddy. The sentiment is from I Love You Tons stamp set.  I stamped the words several times, then used my heart punch and punched them out individually.  The heart background paper is from the paper studio.  I paper pieced the little present with the same paper. I finished the card off with some rhinestone hearts :)

Sequins/Glitter/Rhinestones

Here is a quick clean and simple Valentine card I made for my husband. I was looking for a nice one to buy but I really could not find any that I liked. So I just had to make my own :)  I used the Love You stamp from the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13. I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the card. Then punched out some blue glitter hearts from the Glitzy Pastels DCWV stack. Next I made a pattern with the hearts, sequins and rhinestones and glued it all in place. Super easy :)

Unity Be Inspired Challenge 12

Hello Friends

I really enjoy the Unity Be Inspired Challenge. It does challenge me to use colours that I would normally stay away from. I love seeing what everyone creates with the same palette. There is still lots of time left to link up your project if you want to take part :)

I was going for a beach theme for this card. I used three different stamp sets, Rain or Shine, My Sunshine & Angie Girl - Dream with your Heart.  I created the background with alcohol markers. The blue/green colour as a sky and the stone colour as sand.  I kept the colouring a little blotchy for a wet sand look.

I stamped and paper pieced the image of the couple using all of my scrap paper.  I used the flowers from the Angie Girl stamp to create the pattern on the dress.

I stamped, coloured and cut out the clouds. I then glued them to the very top, letting the sun overlap the card base to create some dimension.

I then added tiny little hearts as my 'rain'. I finished it off by stamping the sentiment on the bottom. I think it would make a good Valentine's day card maybe my husband will get it on Feb 14th :)

I hope you enjoy my card -   Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Friday Friends :)

I hope you all had a good week. Here is the card I made for this weeks friends with flair today.

 I used two stamps on this card. The hearts are from the You are my Main Squeeze stamp set. The sentiment is from the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13.  The vibrant pink colour is Picked Raspberry distress ink that I sponged all over the card. I embossed the hearts with white embossing powder. I really like he effect it created it looks almost like chalk. 

Have a great weekend :)
