...and Flowers
"Hearts" is this week's theme at Caardvarks, and "Flowers" is the Arty Girlz theme. My anniversary/valentine card is full of hearts and flowers, so I'm submitting it both places.
The background paper, image and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat's "just an old fashioned girl" collection. The heart is cut from the background paper and mounted onto black cardstock. I cut the circle and scalloped circles with Spellbinders nestability dies, sewed a couple of strips of paper in coordinating colors together with a piece of paper lace cut with a Martha Stewart boarders punch, and attached these to the background. The tiny black flowers are die punched and the birdies are colored with Prismacolors.
Now that I've finished this card, I am:
Looking forward to satisfying my alter ego--The free-spirit mixed-media art book, journal, collage and paint fanatic
Enjoying the heavenly aroma of a handmade soap gift from the 14 days of valentines swap
Wondering if all those valentines I meant to send will ever get in the mail
Knowing that I must get some sleep so I can start fresh tomorrow...
...But like a little kid, I'd rather stay up late and color!
Have a great day, Everyone!
