Just sharing a Valentine's Day card that I made for the CREATE Blog.
Even though I made a lot of love-related cards lately, there is not one specifically for Valentine's Day.
Even though I made a lot of love-related cards lately, there is not one specifically for Valentine's Day.
Last week I received some new Hero Arts stamps and yummy Basic Grey paper !! It was HEAVEN! One of the new goodies is the pattern paper called Little Black Dress from Basic Grey. Let me tell ya, this collection is sleek and gorgeous....and yes, it's like a little secret weapon! The rich deep dark colors from the paper really sets the tone for this card. So it happens that I can enter this to the Basic Grey Flickr Friends: Hearts gallery. The heart stamp I used is from Friend, You're the Best. One stamp pretty much does it all (background and main images)
Stamping on pattern paper is one of my favorite things to do. The SRM Stickers come in really handy for the design. I just added that on the side of the stamped image. And the little word "chosen" on the heart? It was an after thought. I had a little bit of sentiment sticker left, so I thought:" why not? " and applied it to the heart.
With all the new stamps, I made a few very last minute submissions to the latest Stamp It (by Paper Crafts). Yesterday over Paper Crafts Facebook, I saw one of my very cards on their table (squeal!!)--meaning there is a small chance to be picked!!! I thought that I may be delusional, so I got my son David to take a peek for me AND he thinks it's MY card! I now am eager to find out if it made the cut!!!
CAS-ual Fridays' new challenge is up next! I think you will love it to pieces ;)

So pretty and romantic - you do wonders with Basic Grey pads! For some reason, they're one of the only paper companies I can't seem to create cards with, though their papers are pretty...? Anyways, it's obvious YOU had no trouble with them!! :)
