Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Myself
Hearts
February is the time of professing our love, as I said in my previous WLSC post, but it can be for any occasion. I have two occasions today. I didn't have any heart stamps that were of the right size, so I drew them instead. I then ordered some, well you have to don't you?
Firstly, I will show you the card I did with my new stamps. The stamps weren't separate as I thought, but that didn't matter, I used them for an Anniversary card, thinking of our 60th in June.
I went through some papers and found a spotted paper I liked and stamped onto it, then embossed in gold. I had found a banner in some very old stamps and used that with the Anniversary greeting that came with it.
Next I attached it to gold mirror card and then to the base card, a very simple card. I thought I could add the year numbers on top of the banner, there are a few special anniversaries in the family this year, maybe using it for one of those.
paper - Craft Sensations, Romantic Florals
heart stamp - Temu Love Stamp
banner stamp - no identity, a gift from my lovely SiL years ago.
This is the card I drew hearts. I wanted a thank you card for a neighbour who has been wonderful and above helpful for me. I cut a piece of card, then drew some lines and 3 hearts with stems. Next I coloured them with 3 different reds, a combination I saw on the web, which I liked. I then used 3 different greens for the stems.
I had already used a sentiment for my last card from this set, so decided to use two more from it. I stamped them to suit, as I thought, then layered them onto red paper which were attached to the base card.

The gold embossing looks really luxurious on the polka dot background. Your own hand drawn hearts give a very elegant finish with the design.

Both your cards are brilliant. I really love those hand drawn balloon hearts and the way you have loosely coloured them. They work so well. I think I have that stamp set by Alex Syberia, so thanks for reminding me xx
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards. The anniversary card looks lovely with the embossing. Your hand drawn hearts are brilliant on the second card.
ReplyDeleteThese are both really beautiful, Faith!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful pair of cards Faith - the second one really appeals to me with it's CAS look.
