Hello, Friends!
I'd introduce my card, and let you know who it's for but I'm guessing you already know! Yes, it's that time of year again and it (frankly) snuck on me this year. Valentine's is just around the corner, and this will be one of the cards for Hubbs - yes, I usually make two... This card comes compliments of two current challenges, Color Hues: Red & Black, and Freshly Made Sketches #521.
Pretty simple, using most snips of pp, a quick embossing folder and a couple dies all layered up. Oh yes, let's not forget the glossy accents. Since I had a bit of red polka dotted pp, I decided to use an e/f to make matching dots for the white pieces, then attached the letters, words and hearts. Here's a close-up ~
I'm not sure why the glossied heart in love looks like it has bubbles, but I assure it doesn't. Maybe since I only used a thin layer for that heart? Not sure, anyway hopefully this card is not too foo-foo-ish.
And here's the inspiration ~
Well that's it for me today, I helped Hubbs go on a drive to pick up a large machine for his workshop, so less time for crafting after cooking and laundry. I love helping him and spending time together so that's well worth it to me.
Supplies:
CB - Swiss Dots
E by E - You Rock die
MFT - Stitched Alpha dies
SSS - Stacked Hearts and Tic Tac Toe Hearts dies
Days are getting longer here, but it drops below freezing at night and hits low 50's during the days, but I'm pretty sure we're still in winter in these parts. Hope your weather is treating you nice and warm days will be soon.
Hugs,
TK
