For the Lovebirds


I put the heart earring from the 1980s around two of the closest doves on the patterned paper. 


I heat embossed the Lawn Fawn letter stamps in gold onto self adhesive vellum. 


You can see how much dimension that heart has in the picture above. 


This is the first fold using patterned paper by Paper Favourites, gold cardstock by Creative Memories, and heart dies. (unknown)

 
This is the final fold using heart patterned paper from the same paper pack and a wedding stamp by Stamping Up. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Manly Monday Truck Die Cut cards


I made this background with distress ink, and Copic markers for the grass at the bottom. For some reason the edge of this white cardstock had this jagged edge and so I went with it. The sentiment die cuts are by Stampendous. The sentiment is stamped with Versa Color ink. 


The background of the second card was created using a handmade stencil of a triangle and distress ink. The truck day cuts were made with a complex die from Sizzix. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.
