A couple more pink Valentines

Hi there, yes, I am creating with pink, believe it or not!  I find these papers so delightful and easy to work with,  They are the Basic Grey Bittersweet and a new K and CO.

This first card is for a challenge at Card Patterns Sketch, #98.  I love the panels and added simple stitching to them.  The felt hearts are some that I picked up at Michael's and have been having fun with them!  I stamped the Hero Arts "lots of hugs" onto white cs and just cut out and applied to the hearts with glue.  Th flower that I created with started with this MS doily and some PTI and CuttleBug dies.  I added a Jenni Bowlin vintage style button that I got at Ellen's a while ago and filled in the button hole with some tiny dangly cuttings from some lace and then added some MS glitter.  I had also wrapped the bottom striped panel with some MS baker's twine and added a punched out heart.  SIMPLE!  Here is a close-up of the different layers.

The next card  is a just for fun card that I wanted to create movement with the felt hearts.  I used the K and CO papers for the main card front and for the punched out heart that is centered in the middle of the crocheted lace panel.  The little embossed paper heart is a MS and the little floral stick pin is from the same K and CO collection.  Same amount of stamping on this card :)

Thanks for looking and I hope that you are having a safe and warm week!

Cheers!

Paper and Lace Pretty in Pink Valentine

Hi there!  Hope everyone had a good start to the week?  I have been busy making some Valentine cards, some for friends, some just because I have all of this cool Valentine "stuff" and I want to make use of it!
I like the way this card came together, my version of Shabby Chic, without the artful distressing and fewer embellishments,  It doesn't even have a stamped image or sentiment on it!
The paper is K & CO, paper doilies from MS, some lacey hearts trim, satin and chiffon ribbon and a stick pin with a heart, also from K & CO.  The flowers are some from the UK that I ordered early LAST year.  It's about time that I start to use them, before I lose them ;)
hugs and cheers,
Chriss
