Valentines 2022

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I made simple Valentine's cards this year. Was very happy to use an old Stampin' Up! set from 2001 called Thanks From The Heart. The two crocheted hearts in the image directly above were made using Sarah's free crochet instructions on her blog, Sarah Maker. The other crocheted and felt hearts have been around for a long time.

I stamped most of the jars with Gina K's ocean mist. I stamped a few jars with Gina K's bubblelgum pink and blue raspberry, SU's ballet blue and distress broken china. Most of the hearts were stamped in  passionate pink, but used bubblegum pink on a few. Sentiment on the front if from Hero Arts, Month February set.

Sentiment on the inside is from Stampin' Up's 2001 Love Always set.

Wishing you a Sweet and Happy Valentine's Day filled with good health, happiness and love!

Fluttering Fall Butterfly and Flower on Dry Embossed Layer

I was so happy to finally use a dry embossed layer (Cuttlebug Victoria) that has been sitting on my stamping desk for some time. I added color to it with Gina K's ink and blending brushes. Then used  stencils and blending brushes to add color to Gina K's flower, leaves and butterfly from her Fluttering Fall Layering Stencil Bundle.   

Here you see the same layout but with a Momenta butterfly embossing folder for the background.

Sentiment from Gina K's Sketched Flowers set.
