I took a short break from the CAS regime for my card today, although it's still not a 'fully loaded' creation compared to some out there. It's not that I necessarily prefer CAS styles, just that I find it a whole lot easier. to do. Case in point - this card took me hours to do and I'm not even including the colouring time!
I merged the Saturated Canary digi, 'Hipster' with my own Love Conquers All digi and added the 'Be my Valentine' sentiment. I had wanted to do a vintage feel Valentine's card so went with sepia and brown tones, using my Copics to do all the colouring. Using Kraft paper I cut flowers and a tag shape with my Cameo and then stamped and heat embossed some script onto them, wrapped a chipboard heart with some twine and added aTim Holtz ticket and some pearls.
The current challenge at Saturated Canary is Movie Inspiration and my movie is "Valentine's Day" - doh! No kidding huh?
I would also like to enter this into the challenges at 613 Avenue Create, Dream Valley, One Stitch at a Time and Pile it on.
Thanks so much for stopping by - I truly appreciate your visits and comments. A warm welcome to my newest blog friends/followers too :)
