Valentine


Today I have a little valentine to share as that special day is just around the corner and I need to finish making mine! This little bear is from Inky Antics, and he was colored with Copics and had his tail dotted with liquid applique before cutting and matting with Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies. The card base itself is die-cut with the Lil Inker stitched rectangles as well. The papers are from SU! and I used a Martha Stewart heart border punch along with a Lil Inker stitched die to cut the sentiment panel. I used a SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment, heat-embossing it in white and called this one done.

I'll enter this into the following challenges:

Dies R Us challenge #138 - XOXO (hearts, love, valentine)



Crafty Calendar Challenge for February - use die cuts or punches

Thanks for checking in and I wish you all a fabulous weekend!

Carol

Oh Carol, he is cute as can be. I love those papers (you know about my paper addiction) and how well they go together. His little tail is so fun too. The polka dot heart border really adds to the card.
