Hearts WLSC

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Myself.

Hearts

 

February is the time of professing our love, but this year, I am dealing with a Sympathy card, because I saw the beautiful words on the stamp and had to use it and maybe it's the mood I'm in!

 

I started with looking for stamps with hearts and found a few. I then went searching for a sentiment, but as it happens I found this, thought it lovely, so went with it. In case you can't read it, it says, "Wrapping you in Love

at a time when words fall short." Aren't they lovely?

 

I stamped the heart then the sentiment, next I coloured the heart simply. It looked a little plain, so I embossed the top and bottom of the card.  Definitely a CAS card. The card actually went to a lady whose hubby is very ill.

Penguin CCC

    Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

 Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.

  

A penguin card today, for a Great Niece. It's her birthday in a few days, so I thought a Winter card would be suitable for her, in my files I came across this lovely penguin, suitable for a little girl, with her scarf and flowers. She was taken into Silhouette and print and cut 3 times, the sentiment was also done at the same time, I decided to colour the sentiment the same as the flowers, bringing a little warmth into it.

 

I also had an embossing folder in my subscription magazine for December, so I decided to emboss a piece of card and then swipe ink onto it, to give a little colour. A few snowflakes added to make it more wintry, and some 3D glaze onto the eyes and feet.
