Heart Blend

Posted on January 26, 2016 7:41 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Today’s Color Challenge (CC567) has some pretty colors & the dessert option is a Valentine. Since the colors are strawberry, mint & espresso, I couldn’t get the “espresso” out of my head so coffee was the way I went w/ my card.

I put some X-Press It c/s into my Misti, stamped the coffee cups first w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then overstamped w/ Versafine & cut them out. I did the same to the little hearts & the greeting. I just happened to already have the crochet looking heart already die cut as well as the white topper w/ the stitched circle cut out. Love it when stuff I have laying around fits in so nicely! I added the mint polka dot dp & pretty much done.

Here’s a look at the inside. I left it blank for now. I’ll add a greeting inside later. Below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Valentine Ride

Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC529) is a site full of fun items. I saw THIS and thought the bicycle theme would make a cute Valentine.

The bicycle was die cut and added to a sponged background. I had already stamped the heart tree & masking it would have been a nightmare so I just carefully sponged around it & used a marker to fill in any blank spots. I did have to do a little out of the box on the left side of three before I added it to a polka dot stamped layer. The big solid hearts were stamped & fussy cut then I added red stickles to them & some Wink of Stella to the hearts on the tree.

Here’s a look at the inside w/ just some simple stamping.

Wishing Love

Today’s Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC566), is an interesting combo, pink, melon, & orange. I thought they would work well for a Valentine.

My Valentine is mostly die cuts w/ just a bit of stamping, but when you have such beautiful dies, it’s always a pleasure to use them 🙂 I die cut the white front w/ the largest Double Stitched die and the patterned paper behind it w/ the largest Flourished Star Pattern die. I put the white stitched panel in my Misti and stamped the Wishing first w/ the melon ink but it was too pink so I overstamped w/ a pigment ink called Picante. I did the same w/ the little You underneath it. The hearts & Love were die cut out of a melony/coral paper that has a faint silvery pattern running through it. I die cut the pennant swag out of white then the individual little toppers out of different patterned paper to add more of the colors. I replaced the O in Love w/ one of the smallest hearts.

Here’s a look at the inside.
