valentine cards

Valentine  Cards....... DT  creations for Twiddleybitz

3 Cards made from a  12 x 12 piece of Bazzil Cardstock

I painted the chipboard flowers with white paint, 

then added Kindy Glitz to each petal 

and added a pearl to the centre.

The chipboard heart, I pushed it onto a glue pad and added glitter.

( I have learnt my lesson with glitter and did this all outside

.and continually washed my hands, so as not to get it on anything)

The little chipboard hearts I embossed using my Cuttlebug, 

inked them and added a scrip stamp..

Using a white pen I outlined each card and

 using a circle template I outlined the circles.

The little white Hearts are left over pieces from a heart punch.

This filled in my Friday afternoon very nicely.

Hopefully more scrapping tomorrow.

Next week is full time work again,

 not much time for scrapping as I like to scrap during the day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Using up some old Rub Ons from my stash.

Sprayed each spot with Tattered Angels glimmermist and added some matching colour embellies.

I have used different washi tapes to mat  the photo and used a Kaisercraft script stamp on the background.

Love this happy snapshot of Sarah, straight off the camera....

 she loves spending time home during Uni holidays.

loves finding sea shells

 February

White With 1

New Challenge for this month is

WHITE + PINK + HEARTS

<3 finding sea shells

 Something a little different for me again....

I used a Fiskars stencil to draw the hearts, slightly moving to add several lines.

I then added a thick layer of Kaiser paint inside the heart shape

 and while still wet

 I added Tim Holtz clear Rock Candy Crackle over the top, 

and set it aside to dry overnight.

  Using my kraft knife I cut out around the hearts and they curled up 

 so it was the perfect place to add my embellishments.

The piece of paper behind the photo is embossed with hearts, 

(but unfortunately doesn't show up very well).

I did this by opening up my embossing folder,

laying it on the cardstock and rubbing over it with scissor handles. 

The pink around the edges of the page are torn strips of washi tape.

I altered the photo using Photoshop...

I changed it to a Black&White photo, then brought the colour back into her jumper.
