I really love these soft spring colors. The Kraft color seemed to compliment it well too.

I stamped the image on colored paper from Basic Grey. I twas a very faint shading and I really like how that turned out. I colored the image very lightly with Copics so that it wouldn't bleed through. I used the same paper for the sentiment. The ribbon and bow was from a collection of bows that I had - I just took one bow apart and used it as a ribbon. Oh we card-makers are a crafty bunch of skin-flints aren't we? Hee, hee!

So are you sick of Valentine cards yet? I must say that I am getting close. But I sure have a hard time not using these cute images from the Gina K Stamp TV kit. This adorable designer paper came in the kit. I love the texture and the colors are fantastic.

Sending Love

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I have several more cards to make. Here is one. I just love the designer paper that came with the Stamp TV Kit. This was pretty simple card. Instead of just reds and pinks though I liked throwing the brown in there.

Cuckoo

I think I am having way too much fun with the GinaK Stamp TV kit for this month. Love that cuckoo clock!
I stamped the image on Kraft, colored it with Copics and cut it out. Then I took the Lemon Drop and used the distress ink on it. Rounded the corners and put it on some red before putting it all on the Kraft. I punched out a heart and stamped the sentiments on Kraft. I also used a glitter pen to enhance the clock although you can't really see it. Well, that is it for tonight - I hope to make another for tomorrow.
 

I wonder who will get this card on Valentine's Say?

Missing my friend

What a fun image. This was from the GinaK Stamp TV kit for this month. It really has a lot of fun images in it.

I stamped the image on Pure Luxury white. Since I was also creating this card using the JUGS colors I stamped the bench twice - once on the white and again on the SU - Guava then paper pieced the seat of the bench. I layered green, peach and Turquoise Sea with just a strip of striped DP. I used a Cuttlebug border along the top of the card and Spellbinder dies for the tag and the decorative addition to the oval.
 

Just a fun card to make and will be fun to send to my friend, who I do miss!
