InStyle Stamps Blog Hop

Its time for another InStyle Stamps blog hop.  The theme this month is Valentine's, and there is a $25goodie bag up for 1 lucky person who votes for their favourite project on the InStyle Stamps blog.  If you are following the hop you should have arrived here from Kristine, if you have arrived here from elsewhere and want to join in the hop you need to go back to the InStyle Stamps blog.

Here is my project ....

I used the gorgeous Valentine Ava ...

 

I made a little gift bag and matching card.

 The gift bag was made using red cardstock .. Taylor posted a similar bag on the InStyle Stamps blog, you can find it here.  Mine has open sides that I pinch in.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the scalloped edge.

 Ava is coloured using copics and then cut out, and her wings stickled.  I used a Marianne Creatible die to cut the circles out, and drew a heart, covered it in glitter glue and then glossy accents and cut it out.  I punched a couple of holes to make it look like a button.

 I used  Valentine Ava for the card, just making her a bit bigger.  I coloured her in using the same pens.  I embossed the cardstock using my CB hearts folder and made the large heart in the same way as the one on the box, but used crackle accents rather than glossy accents.  I added some ribbon to the card and the heart, and a sentiment.  
 
Now you need to keep hopping, so you need to go to Sandie's blog to see her fabulous creation.
