Happy Valentine's Day! I hope that your day is filled with love (and romance!!!)!
Even though my design today is not necessarily a Valentine...I have something sweet on my mind, just waiting to be shipped off to one of my readers! Blog candy! Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a packet of goodies including the Basic Grey paper that I've used on this card, along with Primas, May Art's lace, and more! Best Wishes!
To start off, I had a really difficult time getting a good picture of this card! I took a bunch of pics yesterday, then more today, and still am unhappy with the outcome. The bird image (Stampin' Up Nature Walk) matches the background paper perfectly IRL...I could not capture that whatsoever here! In any case...
Basic Grey "Curio" paper was used, along with May Art's wide black silk ribbon and 5/8" May Art's lace. Spellbinder's Petite Oval and Doodles Parts dies were used to create and frame the image panel, and KaiserCraft black jet rhinestones were applied for sparkle. All of these supplies are ready and available at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
So, that's that for today! Be sure to leave a comment on this post to be in the running for the blog candy. I will choose a winner Friday night at 6 p.m.
Thanks for stopping by!
