Love really does seem to be in the air at the moment ... every challenge is love or Valentine's!! Either hubby is going to get lots of cards or I'll just have to find someone else to send a few too!!
So both Cute Card Thursday and Whiff of Joy have Valentine's as their challenge, so another combined challenge, using Lili of the Valley's sketch this week. Bit of a cheat combining them but I have a stinking cold and don't feel very crafty.
Anyway here is my effort...
I coloured and distressed Melinda and matted her onto that fab stripey paper, found at the bottom of my 12x12 stash. The heart is stamped and heat embossed using red tinsel powder to give it a bit of sparkle, and again matted onto the stripey paper. On the other side of the paper was ..pink heart paper!! So that is the backing, hopefully reasonably well covered with velvet ribbon, flowers, scrolls and a sentiment!
OK I really don't do pink, hearts, slush!! But I have tried!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Melinda blowing Kisses (WOJ), heart was freebie, scroll TAC
Colouring Media: distress inks, heat embossing
Papers: Fancy pants Crush
Embellishments: prima flowers, adhesive gems and hearts from my stash
