It's February, the month for Valentines!
I was inspired by Tim Holtz's Valentine video last month to pull out my Valentine supplies and make some cards.
supplies: watercolor cardstock, various pink and yellow cardstock, Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations (retired) Doily die, Spun Sugar distress ink, Altenew Mini Flower Cluster Layering die set, stamped leaves from my scrap basket, Tim Holtz Sentiments Label sticker
Isn't this embossing folder a treasure? The dimension is wonderful! I took Tim's example and inked the flat side of it with spun sugar distress ink before embossing it in my machine. I wanted to simulate a kind of tussy-mussy, a little bouquet of posies wrapped in a lacy doily, and I think this mini flower cluster does the trick. Then I just added a sentiment label.
Next, I left my heart do the choosing, picking things from my stash that have meaning to me: script, gingham, blues, lace, lilies of the valley and forget-me-nots.
supplies: white card base, unknown script patterned paper, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Lace Baseboard Frame, ephemera from Botanical Layer , SmallTalk Occasions sentiment strip, blue gingham ribbon, blue pearls
After I'd glued the largest ephemera piece to the lace baseboard, I glued the smaller one to the script backing, then added adhesive foam pieces to the frame to make it stand up even more from the card base. I wanted to accent the blues, so I added a small blue gingham bow and some blue pearls.
These Lace baseboard frames are really lovely, and I'm so glad that they're still available!
Thanks for stopping by! Will you be making some Valentines this month?
