The year is flying by already and it's February 1st! Whew…almost time for Valentine's Day! And…if you live in Northern California…time for allergies to start. Spent the weekend with a gnarly sinus headache. Start the Claritin I.V. stat!
I have two Valentine Cards to share today. I will have more as the day approaches. I've also been cooking up some cute cupcake toppers for my work treats.
This first card is for my monthly stamp club swap cards. Our meeting is on Wednesday night:
LOVE the new cuttlebug embossing folders for Valentine's Day! Took my white gel pen and made a little accent on the heart in the middle of the "O". The heart stamps are from an old Stampin' Up set. The black border on the card is a Tim Holtz background stamp.
This card has a totally different color scheme and feel to it. It's based on an Amuse card I saw in my local paper store. The awning is made by folding the paper and then putting pop dots underneath!
The little birdies and the glass are colored with Copic Markers. The whip cream is filled in with fine prisma glitter. I use Copic BG000, BG10 and G0000 whenever I want to make something look like glass.
More Valentine's to come. Stay tuned.
I have to mention that my favorite band - Green Day – won a Grammy last night! Wahooo! The song they performed was from their musical version of American Idiot, which we saw at The Berkeley Rep Theater late last fall. We recognized a lot of the cast – and now they're Broadway bound!
