Paper Playtime Ch #4 Sentiment Stamps

Hello,  It has been a few days since I have posted any new cards.  I have been spending some time with the family.  Today's card is for the Paper Playtime Ch # 4 sentiment stamps.  I made this card from my scrap bend of cardstock.  I thought this would be a good way to use what I had.  Sorry so I really don't remember where the papers are from.  What I did was to cut strips of paper at different sizes and cut the ends in different cuts.  I used a felt flower from pebbles and a couple of buttons from my stash.  The sentiment was a stamp and die cut from MFT Die-namics Framed Greetings.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I used Tim Holtz  tea dye distress ink to ink the edges of the sentiment.  Hope you all enjoy.  Thanks and Hugs xxx

BBTB2 Heart and/or Cupid Challenge

Hello again, I am back with another valentine card for BBTB2 challenge. For this card I used Georgia-Pacific white cardstock cut at 4.25 x 5.5 for the base.  The rest of the papers for this project came from the Paper Studio Sweet Pea stack.  The hear mat was cut to 4.24 x 5.5.  The pink mat was cut from Elegant Edges cartridge at 4.25.  The large heart and all layers was cut at 3.5 from Four Legged Friends cartridge. On this mat I stamp the postcard and sentiment from the stamp set You’ve Got Mail from Lawn Fawn using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.    I also used versa mark and white embossing powder to stamp the postage stamp.  I did this on smaller pieces of paper  then cut them out and paper pieced them.  Next I used 1 thickness of foam tape to adhere the heart after embossing the i love you sentiment from a Studio G stamp set.  I use the Four Legged Friend cartridge to use the mouse and all of his layers at 1.5.  I also used foam tape to adhere him and the small heart. I used Tombo Mono liquid glue to adhere the mouse together and my ATG to adhere the heart and mat together.  With this card I tried to think outside of the normal valentine colors and used paper from a baby stack.  I really like the way it turned out.  Hope you enjoy please subscribe and leave a comment.  Thanks and hugs.
