Love Card

With Valentines Day coming up I wanted to make a sweet card for my wonderful husband.  He is the world to me.  He is my best friend, the love of my life, and completely balances me in every way.  Who could ask for more!?!

I used two different types of wood items the "LOVE" title and two little hearts from Unique Laser Designs.  The have a beautiful natural finish, but I wanted them to fit with the colors of the card so I again used the Mica Powder to cover them.

I press the wood into the VersaMark ink and apply the powder with a brush, this time in red for all the wood.

I use a small brush to first apply the powder to the sticky wood to coat it.

I then use a larger brush to brush away the extra powder.  The shine on these is beautiful!!

Valentine's Day is coming up really soon, don't forget to make something special for those that you love!!

Love is in the air and this season is to express our love. My project today  is a Love Card that I made using only one piece of the Love Set, that I called "My love in a bubble"

To make this card I only used acrylic paint and classic ink to decorate the chipboard piece.

Let me show you how I made each part:

Fist I painted the chipboard bubble with white acrylic paint, the letters with black acrylic paint and the heart with Classic Poppy Parade Ink.

When the ink was dry, I covered the heart with a thin layer of glue, using a double glue pen, to sprinkle it with Dazzling Diamonds. Then I assembled all the parts.

Now that my main part was created, the next steps were very quick. I cut the different layers of my card and I aligned them easily with the Get-It-Straight Laser Square.

I used three different layers of papers for the base and one for the top.

To compliment the decoration of my card, I cut five word bubbles from a die cut framelits that are a little smaller than my decorated piece and I aligned all the pieces in two rows,  and pasted all the pieces with dimensionals.

Finally I tied a bow of red and white bakers twine on top of my card.

Other cuts that you can find in the Love Set are these cute cupids and these sensual lips, that you will see in another project that I will create just for you!
