Grandparent Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day! Here are two valentines that I made for Grandma and Grandpa.
I like how this first one turned out--very graphic and precise. After I punched out the square, I stamped the stripes from Background Basics-Retro three times. The hearts are punched, too. My 5-YO looked at the kraft cardstock and said, "Mom, this paper is hairy."

Here's another version of the CPS challenge card I made a few days ago. I heat embossed the flowers in white on Raspberry Fizz cardstock, then colored in the centers with a clear stardust pen.
Card #1
Paper: PTI Kraft, White, Pure Poppy
Ink: SU Real Red
Stamps: PTI Men of Life, Background Basics-Retro
Other: square punch, heart punches
Card #2
Paper: PTI White, Raspberry Fizz, Pure Poppy, SU Pixie Pnk
Ink: Versamark, SU Pink Passion (& marker)
Stamps: PTI Background Basics-Petal Power, Heart Prints
Other: Sakura Stardust pen-clear, Heart punches, white embossing powder

    Both of these are fun cheryl, but that first one really grabbed my eye. These would be perfect for mass production too!

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
