Love is in the Air

February is the 'Love' Month and with that in mind

Vicki has chosen 'Hearts' for our Trend Week Challenge

at Just Us Girls

 

 

Once again I got out a favourite stamp set

from SU - Timeless Textures for my background.

I also just received a cheapie heart stamp set

with various heart shapes adding a few of them here

with a few red and gold splatters.

This was cut with a stitched die
and attached to red card stock.

My heart is an old sizzix die - double hearts

which was cut from gold paper.

Inks were VersaColor Gold

Memento Angel Pink & Tim Holtz Festive Berries

Added a row of cotton and finished with

my sentiment from GKD

 

I'd like to welcome our February Guest Designer
Michele Greenwood. Pop over to Our Blog
to see what she has created with us
and come join in this weeks challenge.
I am sure Vicki will be busy choosing a winner
with such a popular 'Trend'

See you there and
 Thanks for dropping by

My first posting as Guest Designer at Shopping our Stash

I was so excited and thrilled to be invited to be

Guest Designer for February over at  Shopping our Stash

Their challenge this week is Winter Blues BUT

don't make a Winter card. Pop over to the SOS link above
to get all the details.

This wasn't too hard for me as I am

sweltering through a heat waive

and anything cooling is fine by me.

 

 

I went with a clean and simple style getting out my

neglected gelatos in navy and swiping across watercolour paper

then adding layers of white acrylic paint.

I attached 2 cut out bull rushes from Craft Emotions

  framed and popped it.

The sentiment is from STAMPlorations Noteworthy.

Isn't is a great sentiment and one we should live by?

To finish it off I added more splats of white acrylic paint.

If you haven't been over to The SOS Blog be sure to head that way

and see what the Design Team have created for you.

Such a fun challenge. Hope to see you there.

 

Thanks for coming by today.
