IT'S JUST YOU AND ME, VALENTINE.

Image
  Hello, again, stampin' friends.     This simple card can also be used as an anniversary or even BFF card. First, on watercolor cardstock, using Stampin' Up! ink pads and the Aqua Painter (now called Water Painters), I created a washed landscape-type background.  The trees are from the Snowfront SU! stamp set, stamped in Gorgeous Grape.       I die cut a heart "window" with an older SU! hearts die set on white cardstock and mounted it over the watercolor background piece.  I stamped the rabbits with Versafine Clair Nocturne (black) ink and the hearts with red.  Rabbits:  Lavinia Stamps Wild Hares (large) set.

ANOTHER VALENTINE or Anniversary Idea - Lavinia Stamps

Hello, Again -       Another sweet Valentine or anniversary card using Lavinia Stamps.  This card was super simple and uses just two stamps!  The rest is all from Lavinia Stamps' Misty Morning Scene Scapes.  The Lavinia Stamps I used are Willow Arch and Star Gazing.     If you'd like to know where I purchase my Lavinia Stamps in the US, leave a comment below.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT went to sea . . . - Lavinia Stamps

Good afternoon, Stampers!     Thought I'd share a couple of Valentine-themed projects this weekend.  All of the stamps are by Lavinia Stamps, including the background text, and stamped with VersaFine Clair inks.  The "boat" is colored with Stampin' Blends.  The background scene is also from Stampin' Up! -  6x6 New Horizons DSP.     I'll post another one or two tomorrow or Monday.

IT'S STILL WINTER, AFTER ALL . . .

  Hello, Stampers!     I've been playing around again.  I know it's past the time these little mice would be finding their Christmas tree, but I've seen this clever idea a couple of times online and had to CASE.  However, I did add my own extra features to the story - the figures in the background.     The inks I brushed and sponged are a combination of Versafine Claire, Stampin' Up! and Distress Oxide. The stamp sets are below.   Happy Stampin'!
