Hey everyone - I'm back with another Valentine card! I had to pop down to my hometown yesterday for a funeral (cousin from Dad's generation passed) so today I'm catching up on some blog commenting. I spotted Betty's (created by bjk) gorgeous Boxwood Heart card for the current Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #240 with Vicky's fun board. Thought I'd play along - here's my card:
Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card; Neenah white;
Hero Arts Pitch Black; Tim Holtz Jewel Kraft Metallic
Dies - Hero Arts Jan 2024 My Monthly Hero kit (heart and LOVE)
Stencil - Waffle Flower Postage Collage Rose
Other - sentiment strip (Taylored Expressions maybe?);
Altenew Tea Party enamel dots
Here's Vicky's board; I used the left vertical row (Enamel Dots/Stencil/Rose flower):
I made a few cards (see them HERE, if desired) using Waffle Flower's Rose Collage Stencil. I didn't want to make another one of those but thought it would be fun to use one of the set's layers to stencil a bunch of roses and then die cut into a heart shape. So that's what I did! I used various shades of Hero Arts pink and red inks and didn't mind if I overlapped them a bit. That same stencil has some bitty hearts so I used some Neon Pink ink to stencil a few over the roses. Next I die cut it with a heart die from the January MMH kit; also cut a second heart in red glitter for a shadow.
Next I die cut 4 LOVEs from black and one from red metallic cardstock. Layered for dimension and used one black for a shadow. Added to the heart with a sentiment strip and then to an A2 card. Some heart-shaped enamel dots from Altenew - love, love, love - finished the card. Please excuse the glare off the red metallic - made my O look like it has a wrinkle - so hard to photograph!!
Since I used the colors for Just Us Girls Challenge #712 & Color Hues Challenge #80, I'll add my card there too. Will also send my card to Addicted to CAS #251 where the code word is HEARTS; spotted Jo's lovely entry after I'd finished my card & thought I'd play along. Great minds think alike with the big hearts!
Thanks for stopping and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
