With Love

 Hello everyone! I meant to post this to be loaded up this morning, but I think I lost a day somewhere.  I tell you when you work from home, each day just rolls into the other. I've been totally off my game this week for some reason.

Well, as promised here is the other Valentine card I made for my friend.  I got the stenciling idea from Jennifer McGuire - love her videos, always packed with so much information.  Stencil is from SSS.  I started with some Fog Grey c/s (SSS) and used a light grey ink, I think it was from Altenew.  I then trimmed down the sides and lined it up to where I wanted it on the card base.  I then laid the stencil over top of the fog grey, and then carefully removed the grey c/s and then sponged the stencil onto the pink using PTI peony pink ink and c/s.

I cut the hearts (Aliexpress) from 3 different shades of pink/coral/red.  The heart flourish is from Penny Black (love is growing #51-181) - had it forever, and cut this out of some fine red glitter paper.  Stamped the sentiment (PTI - Ink to Paper) with some black versafine.  I added the 4 red hearts, these were from the Penny Black heart flourish die.

I was going to add some sequins but decided to keep it simple.

Well that's it for me for today.  Hope you are all doing well, and thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend, see you real soon.

Hugs,

Pauline

Branches of Love

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well.  Sorry for my absence, I took a much needed break, but ready to get back at crafting once again.

Today I have a  valentine card to share - one of two requested by a friend.  

Dies and stamp sets are from PTI - Ink to Paper - Border bling: Tin stitched die and Branches of Love, stamp and matching die set.

To stamp the branches, I die cut it first, then placed the branch back into the negative piece, put it in my misti, then lined up the branch stamp over top.  The branch was stamped in PTI olive twist.  For the flower pot, I did the same, and used Altenew Limestone - very lightly on the first layer, the a bit heavier on the second stamp (the pot is a two step stamp set).

Background in pink is using the Border Bling die.  I also cut a white piece that fits over the center portion of the border bling die using MFT stitched rectangle.  I added some dimension behind the flower pot but adhered the branch flat to the card.  Die cut a variety of pink/red hearts and added them here and there.  

Stamped Penny black sentiment ' just for you' using black versafine.  Added some clear sequins to finish this off, as well as nuvo clear glitter pen which was applied to the hearts for some shimmer. 

I"ll be back later in the week to share the other valentine card.

As always I appreciate you stopping by.  Take care, stay safe,

Pauline
