- Mulberry Wood image (Sweet Love), stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Xpress paper, colored with copics, spica pens & Wink of Stella. The image is adhered with dimensional foam onto the border panel.
- My Favorite Things Die-namics circle die that has the piercing in the die. Love it! I'm trying to find the oval set. Smudged Victorian Velvet & Pickled Raspberry while still in the die.
- Dylusions Background: Cherry Pie, Postbox Red sprays that were diluted with white linen. Teal and Fresh Lime diluted with water. Perfect Pearls copper lightly spritzed after the Dylusions layer had dried. (This was a background I had done earlier, and thought it looked nice with the image. ??).
- Border is matted with black rectangle that opens & has some punched heart shapes that were embossed with a Darice hearts EF, then used Versamark & added some Sparkle n Sprinkles white detail to one heart, peppermint stick to the other heart. A Valentine verse will be added to the card insert. Heart paper is a a snippet from Basic Gray 6x6 Kneehigh. Black matting was also a snippet.
The January 2014 challenge theme over at Penny Black and More is Love is in the Air so I'll be linking this little bear as it looks like love to me! I think this one might just go to DH...
So hope you'll give that challenge a look-in, as I'm sure you have plenty of Valentine cards to share!
Since there are a few snippets in use on this card, and since I missed several weeks over at the Snippets Playground, I think I shall go check on the fence repair progress, and see if the goat has turned up. C'mon along if you can. The weather may be frosty but the welcome will certainly be warm. Just bring along your snippety card as a ticket to enter in the fun.
Our next repair tech just called that he is on his way, so I'm off. We just discovered that our natural gas hot water heater pilot is out; DH's back doesn't want him crouching down to relight it, so have still another fella on call that we hope will show up later. Else we will be getting cold showers, and it's much too chilly for that to be fun! Have a great day, stay warm and come back again when you can visit. Hugs
I really like the circle die with the piercing in the post. That really adds a little something to it. I didn't realize that was a Penny Black stamp. So sweet. I haven't paid attention to Penny Black in a long time and shame on me for that. Thanks for sharing your sweet card.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! What a sweet image!! She's colored so beautifully!! And the background looks fabulous!! I hope you get your water heater fixed soon!! Have a great day :)

OMGosh Momma Mary, I thought you had sewed on this card! I think more of the dies should have the holes in like this cause it is just adorable and you have colored it up perfectly. Hope that pilot light gets lit because it is much to chilly for a cold shower!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMary, your image is just adorable and I do like your Dylusions background. That little teddy is just too sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh, hope your repair techs get in and out fast. I hate when they have to come to my house.
Our fourteen degrees this morning was so much better than the 4 degrees we had yesterday. We're warming up and I'm soooooooo happy.

Fabulous card Mary, can't get over how well the background goes with that adorable image!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when your gas boiler man finishes he can hop over here and fix us up a new Playground fence - right now it's hard getting guys to even come and estimate/quote for the work!
