Happy Valentine's Day, Crafty Friends!
The "day of love" snuck up on me with a quickness! Good thing I have been turning out a few love notes here and there. Last week, I received a few goodies from Scrapbook.com and it was filled with the cutest love-themed stamps and stencils. I made time to play with the new Love stencil and the cute critters from Avery Elle's Island Time. I feel like I should take a triumphant heart-shaped lap for being on time with a card...hold my supplies for me.
I love when a crafting session pushes me to pair items in unexpected ways. I purchased the Island Time stamp and die set last summer and never had a chance to use it. I hope you understand that purchasing craft supplies is its own hobby, right? At least that is what I tell myself. The critters are so adorable, and I imagined the set can be used for other occasions outside of a sunny, island scene.
With supplies in hand, it was time to start creating my card. Using a white, A2 panel I inked the stencil using black ink. I then used a masking stencil to add the heart using varying shades of red. The Festive Alpha die set is perfect for creating my own sentiments. I diecut the letters three times each using black cardstock, and for the final layer added black glitter cardstock for a little sparkle. The ampersand has an additional white shadow layer for a little pop. The Copic-colored critters complete this cute card. I consider this a wrap.
Thank you for spending a portion of your day with me. I hope you have a wonderful day doing what brings joy to your heart. Sending Hugs...
Remember to create...
