But I actually started with this card, and tonned it down to make it 10 minutes - I know backwards.
he he!
I started with two things -
our sketch- which I created on my MDS (this is a new Digital program that Stampin Up has recently introduced)
then I used Colour Throwdown challenge
These colours I was really comfortable with - so it was FUN!
I started with my stamp set - "Ever After" I think this set is so beautiful
it's in the Stampin Up Idea Book on page 50
I also grabbed some Velum - I know haven't used velum in so long!
That you can find on Page 159 it comes in different weights - today I used the paper weight
then I stamped - okay I should say I TRIED very very hard to stamp
Ever noticed that I am bit of Perfectionist HE HE :) ouh I bet that is not an observation that you have made uh?? LOL
okay my plan was to have the very edge of the heart be in shimmery paint - then chocolate chip and then the real red in the center
it took me a few tries
I used my dabbers to apply the shimmery paint and my ink
just when I got it stamped correctly - I cut out the heart - and I didnt like it he he
so I stamped it again - I decided that I would just do the heart on a rectangular piece instead
okay I am on my way to get this card done
goodness now you can tell why this took me more then 10 min LOL :)
I stamped the Love stamp and I punched it out with my 1 1/4'' square punch
not too bad uh? I got to play around with my Pretties kit - the broach that I made here is all supplies from the Pretties Kit - in the Stampin UP Idea Book on Page 178
I stamped the red with the cute little words from The Charming Stamp set
this set was featured in the Mini!
I also used my dabber with chocolate chip to darken all the edges - I wanted to create the illusion that the card stock was DARK RED as per the Challenge
now to thow in a little tutorial
My NC Friend Janet was MIA for a while and she was real sad cause she missed the Ribbon tutorial - so
Janet this is for you my friend - and MAX says a big WOOF to Savanah this morning! He also sends a HUGE wet puppy kiss he he
okay so I labelled everything here
With you marker sorta flat up against the ribbon - take long stroke back and forth along the ribbon, try not to keep in the marker in one place - this will cause you to have darker spots.
Turn your ribbon over and do the same thing on the other side
This is the important part - let the ribbon sit for like a min. or two. No longer
Then take a WET BABY WIPE - Hold the ribbon in between the wipe and run it thru!
and Voila - you do this as many times as you want - what I find is that it takes away any inperfections.
There you have it!
have fun making all sorts of colours of ribbon - I made real red and chocolate chip for this card
BACK TO MY CARD
on my punched "love" I added some cardstock to add layers - no really I did he he:)
then I added dimenionals to make it a little higher
For the pearls (came from the Pretties kit) I used my little glue dots - which fit PREFECTLY by the way
this is the way I adhere them!
and here is the Valentine`s day card - to pay tribute to my DAD!!!!
I wish he was here! he is missed very much!
Up close - so you see the shimmer on this Valentines day card -
okay and for those of you thinking I am CRAZY to be doing Valentines day card in November, you may not have read my post from yesterday, he he ;)
so if you go back to yesterday`s post - this may make sense LOL `:)
