Hardly any stamping valentine!

Sometimes I make a card and find that there's very little stamping on it. It's always a great surprise to me! Well, today's valentine is one of those cards.

I chose to work from this lovely sketch by Laura at CASual Fridays. Come and see what I made of it:

I knew I wanted to make 'heart flowers' - they're a big favourite of mine! So I made a frame with one of the Designer Frames embossing folders, drew some stalks with a Lucky Limeade marker and topped them with Cherry Cobbler hearts cut with my Heart to Heart punch.

I gave the hearts a bit of definition with a Bravo Burgundy marker first and a little shine with a white gel pen. Those heart flowers needed grounding so I stapled a scrap of crochet trim to the frame and tied it into a knot.

The sentiment is stamped onto a piece of card stock cut to reach across the designer paper and I doodled the word 'sweetheart' underneath. It took me a while to find the right designer paper but I thought this gorgeous design from the Well Worn range was perfect! I attached my panel to a card base made with textured card stock - I love the contrast with the smooth.

Supplies needed for this card:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Lucky Limeade,  plus Bravo Burgundy and Lucky Limeade markers

Card stock: Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla smooth and textured

Other: Well Worn designer paper, Heart to Heart punch, Designer Frames embossing folder, Chantilly crochet trim

My daughter has a very vocal relationship with our cat Tuppence. Sometimes she just carries on a stream of nonsense ("oooh look at you, you're like a squid! Look at you with your little ears...") but on other occasions she mews at Tuppence. The other day she and the cat were mewing at each other when we heard a voice from upstairs: "Yes? Did you call me?" It was my eldest son - with a very strange idea of communication I must say!

Thank you for taking the time to visit today. I'll be back tomorrow with a three-minute card - hope to see you then!
