Happy Tuesday! I am sharing another Valentine card that I mailed out yesterday. This one is all about the stitching. The stamps are from Unity's Straight from the Heart set. To make this card, I used a twist on the regular stamp masking technique. I stamped a heart {mask} on a sticky note, trimmed it, and placed it on my design as a mask where I wanted to stitch around my "stolen" heart. After stitching, I simply removed {stole} my heart mask, resulting in an "empty" heart roughly the same size and shape as the two "filled" stitched hearts.
I am playing along with:
- "Just Us Girls" #175: use any masking technique
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge--Have a Heart
- Stampendous February Challenge--Love is in the Air
- Playing in Paradise--A Loved One
- Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #207: Put Your Heart on It
Lucky #10 means our winner is ERIN!!
Congratulations, Erin!! I've emailed you. :)
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to offer her congratulations on my Moxie Fab win! I was tickled to read your comments and had so much fun seeing how creative you were in fitting the word "blizzard" into your responses. :-) You guys are always so much fun!
The kids are back in school today after an unscheduled four-day weekend. They had Friday off for the blizzard, and Monday off to allow time for snow removal at their schools. Even though they had a super time playing in all of our snow, it's nice to be back into our routine again.
Thanks for dropping by to share a little slice of bliss with me. :-)
