Aud's Sentiments Challenge #173

Aud's Sentiments  Challenge #173

Challenge will run Feb 9-20
Theme: Valentines/Love Sentiment

I chose to create a design that just wanted to come out of my mind.

Out it came and this is the result

 

I used a Darice Embossing Folder for the background added my Red and White heart punch

The "ribbon" effect is created with a scrap of red paper and a Martha Stewart Punch out.

I've had the metal heart for well over 15 years so don't even think about asking where it came from...IDKS

The Happy Valentine Day stamp was one I got out of the JoAnn $1 bin + stamped in red and embossed.

I hope you like it and will come up with something simple yet elegant on your own.  This is merely an idea of what can happen when you open up that pandora's box.  Love to see yours.

Please leave me some love letting me know if you like my creations.  It's always wonderful to hear.

Ike's Sketch Challenge

A Sketch Over at Ike’s World challenge

Good morning it is time for a new Ike's World challenge

 

 

 

This week’s theme is A SKETCH

 

 

I used the "Saucy Fairy".  A beautiful digi of Ike's with many uses. 

This is what I did with it for this challenge.

 

The beautiful satin pink heart ribbon is from Art Expressions.  If you click on the image you'll also see pink glitter on the wings, red stickles on the skirt, white stickles on the flounce and small heart sprinkles that I picked up in the dollar bin at Michael's.  The 3 foam hearts at the base of the image were part of a great purchase I made when I bought a bag full of different types and colors  from Oriental Trading.

 

We'd love to see what you cam do with this sketch and have a chance to win the challenge.

So come visit over to Ike's World challenge   and see all the other wonderful DT creations and see the prize on offer.

Valentine 2014

Valentine's 2014
I often make cards ahead of time.  I hope none of these are double posts but please excuse any that are.

Vinatage Valentine

 

The inside of the card was created using Silhouette and graphics I cut from "The Graphic's Fairy".  (I shop there alot!!)

 

 For the outside I started by spritzing a whit heart doily with "Walnut Ink" antiquing solution.  I then cut the doily into pieces and added them to "blank" spots.  Some of the graphics came from Microsoft.  I imported them into Word and cut them.  I placed a red heart rhinestone on the wings to add a little bling.  I created and added the red flower and red Stickles on the little girls hearts for extra demension.  I stamped the greeting with Tim Holtz ink.

Lovers Valentine

 

This was a "wild" card to make.  It's one of the new Silhouette designs.  It uses 2 pieces of paper (red and pink) intertwinded to create the outside look of a vingette.  I used ice Stickles on the "pink clouds", heart rhinestones on the small hearts and red Stickles to enhance the girl silhouette and hearts.

Birds and Hearts

 

This card was created with cut outs and is multi-layered.  The center heart is a layering of dark pink, light pink, a dark pink center.  The word "Love" was a sticker surrounded by red Stickles.  The red birds also have red Stickles accents.  The small flowers have brads in the centers. 

Vintage Valentine 1

 

This was a mind bender!  I had all of the elements and after choosing which ones to use this is what I came up with.  I think it has a vintage feel.  I used cut outs, rhinestones, a fluer de lies stamp and the heart at the top is a brad.  I like the way it turned out and the receipient seemed to as well.

This card has several layers.  The back ground card is a bright pink.  The background is a light brown kraft color.  Each "candy" piece is composed of a white scallop background, a dark brown circle and a pink heart.  The final cards appears like an open box of chocolates.  I really loved this card.

Specialty Cut Edge

 

This card was created with the help of my Silhouette, 3d stickers, red heart rhinestones and a stamp I purchased from Oriental Trading.

 

This is one of 2 cards I created from a kit that included papers, cards, and embellishments.

Love You - hearts

 

This was a Silhouette cut card.  It had more steps then I realized but I loved the way it could be decorated.  The colors of cardstock used were:

red, pink, black, white.

I also added a heart border at the bottom.

My grandson asked me to create a card for his girlfriend.  This double heart card was decorated with stickers.  The "heart flowers" are paper tole.  There are 3 layers to it.  I hope she like it.  I know he did :-}
