Love - A Valentines Day card created for Wild Whisper Designs

Hello and Happy Valentines Day! Here's wishing for a day full of love and crafting!

I am back on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog sharing a Valentines Day card I made for my husband. 

I used a couple of the pattern papers from the Classic Woodgrain Mini Collection. This paper is so versatile and can be used for so many projects and in so many different ways.

Here is link for the 12x12 mixed media layout I created last week using the same paper collection.

Here is a sneak peek of my project

My One True Love......Wanderlust Week 6

Hello to all my crafty friends!

It has been a busy time in Paradise. My husband & I are in the process of moving back to

Calgary. There has been lots of packing and driving which has left little time for crafting & creating.

I did manage to find a little this weekend to get caught up on my Wanderlust adventure and now have a 2 page art journal spread to share - just in time for Valentines Day.

The teacher for Week 6 was Amanda Grace. Her style is refreshing and very enlightening - I hope that one day I can use my art journaling to express my deepest thoughts and feelings in such a beautifully raw way as she does. This week was an exploration of textures and techniques while at the same time creating a love letter to my husband.

My page ended up being a bit messy but in the spirit of "embracing imperfection" I left it - blobs of ink, spelling mistakes and all.

1 Background.4 Cards.Valentine's Day Edition

I'm back with another quick background that I made into 4 cards

especially for Valentine's Day.

This one I made especially for my husband - this year will be our 25th Valentine's Day together.

I truly believe that our love has made many impossible situations possible. 

Ok - enough of the sappiness let get on to the craftiness!

My base is a 9x12 sheet of 140lb cold press watercolour paper that I dragged through 4 Distress Stain Colours that I smooshed on to my splat mat and spritzed with water.

Once I was happy with the result I dried my paper and trimmed it down to 4 card fronts.

For these 4 cards I used the Collaged Hearts stamp set from Dina Wakely, the Urban Chic stamp set from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous, and the script "Love" stamp from Stampin' Up!.

While rummaging through my stash I found this 'LOVE' stamp - its almost 2" tall and completely awesome! After I stamped it I used a white paint pen to outline one side of the word and then I used my Hickory Smoke Distress Marker on the other side, 

I just love how it makes the word pop off the background.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!
