I recently found the wonderful
Cuttlebug Challenge Blog, and there I met a new friend - the wonderful and talented June Houck of
Simply Elegant Paper Crafts.
Vintage Valentine Be Inspired #68 challenge is to create a Vintage Valentine for your someone special. Well, this was right up my alley!
Crafty Secrets is sponsoring this challenge - I LOVE their stuff!!! I already had the wonderful
Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps Romance collection in my stash. This and the
luscious red silk ribbon came from Sharon Johnson's
Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, and the ribbon treatment is one of Sharon's signature embellishments. I came up with this very simple card in the Stamp Simply style. The base of the card is Creamy Caramel. I used a hearts
EF with the
Cuttlebug to emboss the white
panel, punched the
corners with the Ticket Corner Punch, mounted it on black and placed half pearls in the corners. The main image is cut from the Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps Romance Collection, matted with Soft Sage and again with black. I pierced under the image on the Soft Sage. I used the
Bow Easy to make the bow. Do you know about this tool?? This is a MUST HAVE! Click
HERE to see Sharon's technique for this ribbon treatment. Love is in the air! Have a wonderful day!
