Bunches of Love Card!

The challenge over at Digital Tuesday this week was to create something using shades of gray and only one other color (white was allowed). I chose to use red and this cute little mouse digi that I got for free! I'm sorry I don't remember where it came from. I colored him in with pencils and then used glossy accents on his hearts and nose! I used Creative Memories DP and triple matted the image using 2 shades of gray and red. I looped ribbons into tags and stuck them behind the image. I used my alpha beads to spell out love. Don't forget to check out my BLOG CANDY up for grabs until February 14th!

Valentine For a Man Card!

I created this next card specifically with a masculine feel to go along with the Cricut Cardz challenge this week. I combined it with Crafty Creation's poem inspiration challenge. I used ultra shiny red satin paper, Creative Memories DP and a sheet music stamp (in Vintage Photo). I cut the heart using my Cricut and the George & Basic Shapes cartridge, twice; once in shadow and one base cut. I printed the sentiment off the computer (a line from the poem) and then inked over the white paper using Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger. You can't really tell in the photo but the banner is rippled so it looks like it's flying or waving. --This project is entered in the following challenges--

Be My Valentine Card!

This is my first time entering a challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog! I thought one of the requirements was to use Peachy Keen Stamps, which I unfortunately do not own, but that is only for their Friday challenge! YAY! The Tuesday challenge is open to use whatever stamp you would like! WAHOO! So this week's challenge is a sketch and make it monochromatic! Here's the sketch: And here's my take! I used various shades of red (pink is a shade!) The stamp is from Ellephantastic and came colored! LOVE that! The ribbon is from Bo Bunny. I cut the heart and circles using my Cricut and George & Basic Shapes cartridge. I then cut the circles in half. I textured the heart and vertical rectangle (after I distressed the edges) with my Sizzix Texture Boutique and Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I went over the heart with Moonlight White ink and then stickled each dot with Diamond stickles. I also inked all the paper edges with Vintage Photo Ink by Ranger. I stickled the edges of the circles also. I faux stitched with my trusty white gel pen for a finished look.
Can you see the glitz?
