Just like I used pink for Christmas cards, not using the normal colors for Valentines cards either. In one I used olive, black and white and the other was olive (again, do you see a pattern here
) brown and teal. The one with the black and white paper I made that pattern paper with a technique called "faux silk." You stamp your design on tissue paper, then color it in or accent it with markers, chalk or water based ink pads and a paint brush. The "fun" part is next, you crumple up the paper, then spread it out and glue onto the same color card-stock so in this one I used white. This is another technique I picked up at splitcoaststampers.com, love that place for new and fun things to try. The scalloped heart was cut with the Cricut and the Doodlecharm cartridge. The photo corners come from a punch by StampIn Up, the word stamp is an old CTMH and the glitter is a product called Stickles, which is glitter glue. Have been using some Rain Dots, they make the white stick on heart in the middle of the brown one. Used the Cuttlebug machine on the envelope to emboss it, think it makes a more finished product that way.
I do make custom orders, so if you see something you would like to purchase, send me an email.
