Happy Valentine's Day!





Hi, there!

Just popping in quick to share with you a Valentine's card.  February 14th is right around the corner!  There is only one heart on this card, but I wanted to create a scene with the darling birds from MFT.  Actually, all the stamps and dies are from MFT.  The glittery red heart was made using a heart punch.  The sky and grass was made using distress inks applied with a brush.  I have a heavy hand and applying the inks with a brush gives a softer look...love it!  My mother-in-law loves birds and so does my friend, Nancy.  I'm not sure who I will be giving this one to.  I just might have to make another one!  I'm entering this card over at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.  The theme was to use something new.  The new items that I used today are the trees from the MFT die set(Spring Scene Builder).

Here is another view of the card...



Ok, well that's all for today.  Please stay tuned for Monday I have projects from Paper Sweeties with a snow theme!  And, speaking of snow it turned cold here and we had some blowing snow today.  I ran some errands this morning.  It wasn't a good time to be out and about, but now I'm back home in the warm house.  I'm crossing my fingers that we don't get a lot of snow until we get a new snow blower for our snow blower went in for repairs, but the cost to repair it is high.  So, since it's nearly fifteen years old, we thought it was time to buy another one.  Anyways, wherever you are I hope you are staying safe and warm!  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs!

  3. Such a darling card, Maria! We both posted red birds today - great minds! I love your little scene and the bits of red sparkle. Too bad you needed to buy a new snow blower...it's not crafting supplies.
