A break!

So, I decided to clean the house on Thursday and I ended up in the middle of a 3 day project of painting the hallway/foyer.  This was no small feat as this is the largest surface area to paint in our house.  My husband told me not to clean again!  LOL!  I finally get to do something a little more for me and made this valentine card without pink/red as I am not a fan of pink.  The DP is from K & Company.  The ivy border is from an EK Success border punch.  The lace paper border is a MS double punch.  The roses were made with a SVG file from Penny Duncan Creations and were colored with Glimmer Mist meadow green and arctic blue.  The frame is also an SVG file from Penny Duncan.  All layers were distressed with Jim Holtz Distress ink, brushed corduroy.

Love is in the Air!

 

Love is in the Air!  Decided to mix things up and not use a digi today.  I had an SVG file for the LOVE cut-out (I apologize, I cannot find the owner of this file).  I embossed the top of this using a damask stamp.  I embossed with Stamp 'n' Stuff satin pearl.  The paper roses are from Penny Duncan Creations which were sprayed with gold and cranberry zing glimmer mists.  No love card is complete w/o some pearls!  

Update:  the Love SVG is from Paper Yoga.  She has some wonderful designs on her website!

Another Monday Creation

So I was a little busy yesterday making cards as it snowed (and snowed) here!  I used purple core'dinations paper with a cuttlebug embossing folder.  The lace border is from EK.  I used a spellbinders nestabilities to make the "flower" behind the Bugaboo image.  You will see that I dabbed yellow in the center and purple on the edge to create a flower effect which sets the image out even more.  Added a little bling for just a touch of sparkle.
