While sorting through my box of pre-made "scraps" I came across this stamped image and decided it would make a cute valentine for one of 2 little boys I send cards to. I colored it with Copics and a red glitter pen then cut it with a stitched square die. I found a snippet of Lawn Fawn dsp with tiny hearts that I liked, but it was too small to cover the whole card front, so I cut it into 2 pieces and added a stamped sentiment of X's and O's at the bottom. I used a retired SU! set called "Oh Goodie" for that. Sorry it's a bit crooked - it seems as I've gotten older I stamp or place everything slightly crooked anymore - in spite of using a stamping device to avoid that problem ???
I'll enter this into the following challenges:
The Male Room Challenge #146 - animals
Addicted to Stamps and More #396 - make your mark (use markers)
Pixie's Snippets Playground #394 - use snippets (dsp)
2 Crafty Critter Crazies January 2021 challenge - use a critter
The House that Stamps Built challenge J131 - anything goes
Thanks for joining me on my journey to sort through my craft supplies and make cards again. I seem to be doing more crafting than purging but that's OK - at least I'm being productive in some small way :)
Have yourself the best possible day!

Love this, Carol! I enjoy pulling out scraps of paper and using them in some way to create an eye catching card! Your stamped image is adorable and I especially love the print of your DSP! Another card well done, my friend! Enjoy your Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable card Carol! I am loving that paper you used, I love how you split it in two to make it work for your card base. Looks so cute! Heck, I'm always stamping things crooked even with a stamping device too. I blame it on my crooked eye. lol You are definitely being productive Carol, even if you aren't purging a lot! What's old is new again and how fun is that?!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable!! Love the sweet image and that absolutely perfect heart paper!! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
ReplyDeletewow this is so stunning absolutely beautiful...great design and awesome colours.xx
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, the crafting uses stuff so it's also part of the purging process - that's what I keep telling myself anyway.

What a cute card Carol! I don't see wonky - I think it's the camera making it that way - and as someone who is the 'Queen of Wonky' I'm a bit of an expert!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in the Playground with us!
Hugs
