Happy Valentine's Day!

     Happy Valentine's Day! I had fun with these hearts, on this card that I made for my husband!

     I cut the hearts from white cardstock, and applied black gesso to a couple of gear stencils. Then I added some metal Tim Holtz Sprocket Gears, and also gave them a light coat of black gesso. 

     The large heart was colored with Distress Spray Stain (Candied Apple Red). Then I added some Prima Waxes (Brushed Iron and Old Silver) to the black gesso. Wanting more texture I used my stencils again to emboss the hearts with Emerald Creek ((Rocky Road) Baked Texture and (Mirror Platinum) Embossing Powder, also used on the stamped chicken wire. For the sentiment I used Ranger Mixed Media Powder (Bone).

Thanks for looking!

Bo Bunny Love And Lace Valentine's Card ~ FotoBella DT

     Is Valentine's on your mind? Bo Bunny's Love And Lace I Want It All Bundle makes it so easy. I made this card for my husband combining the feminine and masculine touches from this beautiful and romantic collection!

     Most of the elements on this card were made from the 12 X 12 Collection Pack, including the belt that I made by cutting the leather strip, adding a couple of loops, and popping up the buckle. I also popped up the circle in the middle of the buckle that I got from the Noteworthy pack, adding a red button to it. The red rose on the heart also came from the Noteworthy pack, where I added some hand-stitching in burgundy and white. Then I stamped the floral cluster on top with blue permanent ink onto white cardstock with the Bo Bunny Floral Stamp, adding a smudge of Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks. I finished it up with some dots of Burgundy Stickles on the white lace.

Inspirational #206 ~ Love is in the air

     Love is in the air this week, with Inspirational #206, hosted by Lynda, for Red Rubber Inspirationals! The challenge is to stamp a heart, so I created this card for my dear husband!

     I started by stamping the Script Background onto white and black cardstock. Then I stamped the hearts using the I Heart You set, and cut around them with some scallop scissors. I folded them in half and machine stitched them down the middle, adding the silver embossed buttons from the Sew Thoughtful set, in between. I also used silver embossing powder for "I" and "YOU", which is also from the I Heart You set, and can be found at Red Rubber Designs.

Thanks for your visit! I hope you'll join us at Red Rubber Inspirationals!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! ~ FotoBella DT

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Here's a card that I made for my sweet husband using the Crazy for you I want it all bundle by We R Memory Keepers. It's the perfect collection for all of your love or Valentine's projects!

I was inspired by sketch #1 used for the February Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.

I just love all the stamps that came in this bundle and used them here with Ranger black embossing powder! I machine stitched around the edges and along the black doily heart and chevron paper. To give some dimension to the black heart I folded it in half. Then I just added the bottle cap and kiss me button.

 Thanks for looking!
