You all know that making Christmas cards is my first love, but I have to say I've really enjoyed making a bunch of Valentine cards for my best friend's special order.
This first one is for Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Hearts".
And here's today's Twofer. My friend who ordered the cards always wants one or two with birds on them. This is going off to Stamping Sensations "Valentines", My Time to Craft "Hearts", Cardz 4 Guyz "Clean and Simple", and Simply Clean and Simple "Hearts".
The heart is stamped with Versamark on burgundy cs and then brushed gold Pearl Ex over it (and sealed it with a fixative). I fussy cut the heart, put foam tape on the back, and added it to a rectangle trimmed with a stitched die. I added a sentiment die cut from gold shimmer cs.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Penny Black image, SU sentiment
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, red and kraft cs
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - watercolour paints
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - unknown stamp
Ink - Versamark
Paper - burgundy and white cs, gold shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - gold Pearl Ex, Poppy Stamp sentiment die, Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die
Two very different but equally lovely cards, the Daffodils a welcome reminder that Spring is coming and the heart looks beautiful with the mica added. Perfect for our romance theme at Stamping Sensations and would also fit so nicely at We Love Stamping challenge.

I love your pretty pot of daffodils with the heart attached to the pot Susan, and with some lovely watercolouring, and then the burgundy card used for the heart on the second with the wonderful bird image brushed with the super shimmery gold pearl powder..so elegant. x
