For this 5x7 red card stock card, I used two stamps from Red Lead Paperworks--the background story stamp and then a larger image of the two girls looking at the Valentines they received from the postal box.
To dress up the background stamped paper, I wet distressed the edges and touched them up with some Ranger Tattered Rose distress ink. Needing a bit more, I created faux stitching by using my metal template to punch holes and then connected the holes with a real red Stampin' Up pen. I colored the girls with my Copics. The background papers are old and I can't seem to locate the brand in my stash.
My second entry for the All You Need is Love challenge at Art With No Boundaries.
Week #99 Love is In the Air challenge at the Shabby Tea Room with the color palette red/white/touch of black
Valentine Challenge to make a card or gift at the Craft Room
The inspiration for the color palette is from the Shabby Tea Room Challenge. The inspiration for the design is Frank's February Challenge at the Flying Unicorn Forum to use a minimum of 3 hearts each of 3 different sizes.in 3 different materials. I have paper, felt, and cotton tatting. Please note the beautiful rose from the Flying Unicorn store has heart shaped petals. I can't enter the challenge as I'm on the Creative Team.
