I like making Valentines. I remember getting out the construction paper, doilies, and paste and making them as a kid. Maybe that was the beginning of my card making. I am encouraging my granddaughter by putting together some valentine card kits for her to make for her school class.
I did ombre inking on white card stock. I used all my reds and pinks from Cherry Cobbler to Bubble Bath pink. Then i used a heart stencil and Cherry Cobbler ink to make the hearts. The lace trim was in my accumulated supply of laces. I punched the focal hearts from Melon Mambo and Cherry Cobbler. The sentiment is an old SU one.Entering this at Group of Seven Cardmakers--use ombre in design.
And Cardz 4 Galz--use a stencil. I'll put this in the gift shop thinking it perfect for a guy to buy for his girl.
Cool Valentine, and it's so kind of you to put together card kits for your granddaughter. I bet she loves them. And you're fostering another lifelong cardmaker!

ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific ombre background Donna, and the added stencilled hearts and the pretty piece of lace are perfect additions, and the added punched hearts and the stamped 'love' finish it perfectly. The card kits for your granddaughter to use are a great idea too. Thank you for sharing this with us over at Group of Seven. x
