Love is in the Air

 Hello Crafty friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a couple of Valentine's cards.  

FOr my fisrt one I used the adorable digi stamp Be Mine Anya.  She is adorable.  I colored her with Copic markers and die cut her with my scan and cut.   The background was created with Distress Oxide sprays and Distress grit paste.  I added a couple of XOXO die cuts in black cardstock and added Anya with foam adhesive.  

For my second card I used one of the cute couples from So This Is Love stamp set.   There are 2 other couple stamps sets that would be perfect as well for any of these simple Valentinme's card or Anniversary cards: #CoupleGoals and Forever with You.  All are in stock at TGF store.  

I started but ink blending part of the card with Distress Ink Oxides in LumberJack Plaid, Abandoned Coral and Sugar Spun and create a gradiant look, I sprayed some water for the droplets effect and also sprayed a shimmer liquid to give it a sparkly look.  I left the bottom right corner white where I stamped my image.  It was colored with Copic markers.  I added the hearts using the heart stamp from the same set.  The sentiment was stamped in the opposite corner in black.   The card was layered with black cardstock and a Valentine's patterened paper.   So easy to created and love how simple the card looks.  

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Happy Valentine's Day!!

So This is Love - Valentine's Card TGF

 Hello Friends!! 

I can't believe how fast January went by and how cold it's getting (at least here in Cincinnati)!  With Valentine's approaching fast I wanted to create a special card for the occasion using the adortable set So This is Love.  I wanted to tell a love story through the years, with the couple falling in love, having a good life and still being in love when they are older.  I do hope to grow old and always have my husband and best friend to share the journey.  

I created this card with a 4.25 x 5.5 white Copic Xpress cardstock.  I used the window frame die to guide me and stamp the images and sentiment.  They were colored with Copic Markers and created little scenes behind them. 

For the sentiment I colored with Distress Oxide ink with a blending brush. I added a heart stitched detail from Lawn Fawn  and a few enamel pearls.    The red stitched window frame from Mama Elephant was popped with foam adhesive.   

I hope I have inspired you to make a Valentine's card for your sweathearts.  

XOXO!
