And when you've done that (!) come and have a look at today's fast card:
It's a valentine - although it would be equally at home as a wedding or anniversary card. I love this cute bird image with the little heart and it fits perfectly in the large heart punch. When I planned this card, I didn't allow time for a mat but when I put the card together I really wanted another touch of red to link with the heart and sentiment. It's still a very quick card though!
Here's a close up of the heart. I punched a post it note with the heart punch to make a mask and sponged inside it with Pool Party ink. Keeping the mask in place, I stamped the bird image in Basic Grey and coloured it in using markers for the leaves and heart and a blender pen and Pool Party ink for the birds. Easy Events has lots of sentiments that would work with this image like 'sending you love' and 'wedding wishes' but I chose to go for this little sentiment from Tiny Tags.
Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Easy Events, Tiny Tags
Ink: Pool Party, Basic Grey, Real Red plus Real Red and Pear Pizzazz markers
Card stock: Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Other: Large Heart punch, Stamp-a-majig

One of the benefits of having a new carpet fitted is that my youngest son has been prompted to have a sort-out in his room. One of the things he found on his music shelf was a nursery rhymes CD from when he was a tot. "40 favourite nursery rhymes!" read the blurb on the CD but the rest was obscured by a sticker saying rather surprisingly: "Includes the hit single Dead Ringer For Love"! My son's explanation for this was that he'd enjoyed putting stickers on things when he was little - he'd taken this one off his father's Meatloaf album 'Bat Out of Hell' and placed it on his own CD!
Well it's time for me to have a bit of a tidy up now! Shame the house doesn't sort itself out really! Enjoy your day and I'll see you tomorrow.
Hugs,

A super card, with such a sweet little image, Vicky...and could be sent to just about anyone for Valentine's day:)
ReplyDeleteI love to read your real life stories, Vicky. Your son and his stickers reminds me of our son, who adorned the inside of his wardrobe doors with hundreds of the darned things. He's now 28 and flown the nest. His wardrobes are now my craft cupboards, and those stickers are still well and truly stuck!!!
What a sweet idea to frame your birds in a heart and your colours are subtle and pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you have far too many brilliant ideas for me to steal!! I just love the sponged heart as a background to the cute birds, Vicky; fabulous! Such a sweet little card. By the way, yes, I most probably did brush shoulders with your hubby in Las Vegas - we stayed at the Venetian, where THOUSANDS of CES attendees flocked every day!
ReplyDeleteAnother quick, simple but wonderful card! Love how you've stamped inside the heart mask, and the colours are fab!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Victoria ~x~

Ah those damn stickers, your story made me laugh again ! Both of my sons loved them and the wardrobe doors both inside and out where completely covered so much so I ended up buying new wardrobes as i couldn't get the things off !> Beautiful card and the sponging technique perfect as is your stamping .
