I made a Valentine's card for my young nieces using the image from the Sugar Birdies CD and sweet button paper from the Bonbon Belles Double CD. The look I am going for is fun, juvenile and girlie ... What d'you think? LOL
For embellishments I'm using:
- pink polka dot ribbon gross grain ribbon and dotted flower by American Crafts;
- peach brad by Woodware;
- Heart and Scalloped Heart dies by X-Cut to cut the hearts;
- Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to emboss the scalloped heart; and
- buttons and stitching.
- Right Column (Diecut - Stitching - Polka Dots) or
- Middle column (Image - Ribbon - Buttons) or
- Bottom row ( Embossing - Buttons - Polka Dots) or
- Middle row (More Than 2 Layers - Ribbon - Stitching) or
- Bottom left to top right diagonal (Embossing - Ribbon - Diecut).
Decisions ... decisions!
Here's a close-up of that adorable little owl. Isn't he (or she) just the cutest little thing!
