My Card
this week is using a gorgeous paper pack called Love Day Paper Pack Patterned
from Panda Bear Designs teamed up with one of the lovely images from Stitchy
Bear’s Valentine Bundle. I tell you if you had both of these packs you would
have so many options on pretty papers and images to use, they really are very
good value for money.
I started
with the pretty patterned paper, I loved the swirly heart design on the left
hand side and the pops of colours, it juts reminded me of bokeh on a photograph
and I like the soft focus style of it. The colours are perfect for Valentines
too.
The image
is perfect for me as I have a ‘thing’ for collecting the coffee jars that Douwe
Egbert coffee comes in and these are so similar in shape. The card is going to
be my valentine to my hubby and he will see the connection to my ‘button jars’
immediately J
I started to
colour using Marvy Le Plume pens but found the lighter colours were a bit wish
washy so I added some bolder colours too to make it a bit more masculine. I
used Sakura glitter pens over the top though to add lots of sparkle and lighten
the effect of the darker colours. I fussy cut the image and mounted it onto 3D
Foam
I tied some
Baker’s Twine around the paper adding a gem centred heart charm I have had in
my stash for at least 5 years! I have then mounted this paper onto some sparkly
silver card to pick up the lid on the jar. It is also a neat way to conceal the
ends on your ribbon or twine.
The
sentiment is from Doodle Pantry and I used a die to cut the scalloped shape.
Finally this is mounted on 3d foam using the line of the twine to anchor it.
