Sis...

 
Hi there!
 
How are you on this February day?  We had lots of snow yesterday.  And, it was declared a Level 3, which means you are not to be out on the roads unless it's an emergency.  Believe me, I'm happy to stay inside where it's cozy and warm!:-)
 
Ok, enough of weather talk and onto my card.  I made this card for my sis who loves vintage just like me.  I got this adorable image as a gift from the sweet Lori Hairston for participating in the Visions of Sugar Plums Blog Hop that she had last December.  She makes the most wonderful projects using vintage images!  You need to check out her blog ChouxChoux Paper Art!  You won't be disappointed! 
 
I started with a red card base and paired it with yellow.  The image is from Studio Shine Vintage on etsy.  Courtney has the most adorable vintage images!  Go on over and take a peek because you'll love seeing all the sweetness!:-)  I stamped sis on a white heart and popped it up for dimension.  The alpha stamps are from Paper Sweeties.  I added a doily punched border from Martha Stewart.  Little hearts were punched and gems added.  For the final touch, I added ribbon from Verve and twine from PTI.  I'm entering this card over at Sweet Stampin' .

Well, that's all for today, friends!  Stay safe and warm today...have a great one!

Hugs,
Maria

  10. Maria, your sister is going to treasure this sweet gift! What a precious image... doesn't she just tug at the heartstrings? :o) I love how you stamped 'sis' onto the pretty heart! Your sewing is perfection! How I wish I could do zig zags... I can't even do straight stitches straight. ;) The doily trim is especially beautiful since you filled it with sparkling love. :o) Such a gorgeous creation. I can't wait for her to receive it. Lovely work, my lovely friend!

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen
