Hello everyone… The month of Love is here. I can feel the love is in the air… And today I have couple of love themed cards to share with you.
My cards are inspired by the photo inspiration from Joy Clair February Challenge. You are invited to join their challenge this month. You can create anything goes project(card, mixed media, art journal, gift, etc.) inspired by the photo above, it could be the one of the images, the color combo, the love themed… pretty much any inspiration you get from the photo. You can use any stamps you have, but if you have any Joy Clair stamps, we would love to see how you use it on your project, too 🙂
You can link up your project here until February 27th. The more you link up, the more chances you have to the the gift certificate to Joy Clair store. The winner will chosen randomly and will be announced on Joy Clair blog.
I created my cards using the new stamp sets from Joy Clair called Scriptures of Love, Love Languages, and Valentine Background Builder.
On this first card, I stamped directly on the card base the 2 pattern stamps from the Valentine Background Builder using 2 shades of pinks: Memento Dew Drop Angle Pink and Rose Bud.
Then I stamped the sentiment from Love Languages with Memento Tuxedo Black, and then stamped the heart arrow with Memento Dew Drop London Fog and Rhubarb Stalk. I added the sentiment strip on the card with adhesive glue.
I finished the card with Doodlebug pink twine and some white peal gems.
And for the second card, I created the watercolor background first. I added randomly some pink wash watercolored paint on a watercolor paper. Then I sprayed some water, and dabbed it off with paper towel for some splatter texture on it. I dried the watercolor panel with craft heater.
Next, I stamped the heart pattern stamp from Valentine Background Builder with TE Cherry Ink Pad. Then I tore the edges to create a square shape. I added on the card with adhesive glue.
I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Scriptures of Love with extra fine white embossing powder, cut it with circle die ad added on top of the watercolor panel with adhesive glue.
I finished this card with some Doodlebug red twine and white pearl gems, too.
I hope these cards can give you some inspirations to create some cards to spread the love with others 🙂
