Vintage Valentine

Good morning crafting friends. I'm here this morning to add this card to the challenge going on at Really Reasonable Ribbon. The challenge is Valentine / Love.
This card uses a vintage image found online. I added some stickles to the doves wings and around the edge of the card. The heart was cut using a Quickutz die and the tickets were printables found online as well. The heart border is cut using a PTI die. I added a sheer white ribbon to the top because I wanted it to be light and also to allow the heart border to show through. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Kraft Journal Color Challenge

Hello again! I'm here to post another card I made for the Kraft Journal Color Challenge. I'm so loving this color combo, I couldn't help but make another card!
On this card I simply die cut lots of hearts in different printed papers and cardstock. Once I adhered them to my card, I added white gel pen, stitched lines on each heart for detail. The scalloped lace and scalloped circle are both from MFT Blueprints die set. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Kraft Journal Color Challenge

I just recently found the Kraft Journal Blog and I'm so glad I did! I love, love, LOVE working with Kraft paper so I'm excited to join in on my first challenge with them. Anything goes with Kraft card stock. It's a basic necessity, like working with white or black. I love the natural feel it gives any project. Did I mention that I love Kraft?? Anyway, here's a card that I made for their color challenge. The color combo is an awesome one! So yummy!
I used a variety of different flower stamps to create the background which I stamped with Versa Mark then chalked over to give them color. I love how the background sort of blended together giving a very soft, overall feel. I used the Happy Hexagons cover plate from PTI for the next layer allowing the background image to shine through! I die cut several flower images from PTI and stamped them with Versa Mark and chalked them as well, using two colors for each flower to give it visual interest. I intentionally left the centers of each flower white. I placed them onto a vellum banner and stamped my sentiment at the bottom and heat embossed with black. The sentiment is also from PTI. Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

I punched the heart from a scrap from my stash and popped it up with a pop dot as well as on the small flower to give the card some dimension.
