2023 Valentine Card Series #8

Hey friends, today I'm back with a sweet card that was a bit of a headache to create! For some reason, I was just having a really off day and kept making mistakes, BUT I pushed through and I don't think you can tell from the final card, so all's well that ends well. Sometimes we just have to give ourselves a little bit of grace and a card can usually be saved if you keep going. So don't give up! 

For this one I used the adorable Hello Bluebird Bouquet Buddies, which has both outline images and layering stamps. I colored the critters with Copics and stamped the flowers with a whole assortment of inks to match our newest challenge over on Instagram. Then I trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the focal panel, I die cut some Speckled Eggshell Cardstock with the Nesting Deckle A2 and popped that up with foam tape over a Ballet Slippers card base. Then I added my images with liquid glue. For the sentiment I die cut the Love You Words out of Barn Red and Vellum Cardstock and layered them together. Then I finished with a few stamped hearts and a little Stardust Stickles.
