A Valentine’s Day Card

Hey there and welcome. One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to use up my craft stash, well at least try to use before buying and hoarding new stuff. So, when making this card, I went shopping my stash. And I found this pretty patterned paper, but sadly the scrap was way too small to cover my entire front side. To make it work, I tore it in two and distressed the edges. For coloring the adorable image, I grabbed my alcohol markers. After coloring, I stamped the sentiment and added some white highlights. Next, I die cut a frame to go behind the colored panel. After assembling and adhering all the parts, I applied Crystal Stickles onto the hearts, and my card was done.

 


I hope you like how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

 

Hugs,

Jinny

 

Stamp used: Red String (StarStampz)
