All You Need Is Love

Hello Friends

I am here today sharing a card made as Guest for AALL & Create, to celebrate today,

Valentine's Day, for those of you who hold with the celebration.

We don't 'celebrate' as such but we do exchange cards and I really enjoyed making this one.

I used two AALL & Create stamp sets, #45 by Tracy Evans and #57 by Olga Heldwein.

I cut a piece of card 6" square and stamped a part of the larger stamp and then used Tracy's heart stamp to add the hearts to the side.  I stamped, coloured (with Ecoline inks) and fussy cut the elements I wanted to add.

I cut a piece of card slightly larger, to mat my topper on and coloured it with the same red ink to coordinate. I used some red and blue paint to add splatters to the background.  I cut some thin wire to add to the circle element of the design.  It adds some lovely texture.

Here is a close up showing the wire, the hearts (coated with Glossy Accents) and the lovely little dragonflies (I love the little hearts on the wings).  Finally I added my sentiment (a Tim Holtz chitchat words sticker).

The stamps I used are available from shops around the world, you can find details HERE.

Thanks so much for your visit and your support, I really do appreciate it!  I know lots of people prefer Facebook and Instagram these days - and let's face it, it is much quicker to leave a little comment, in our busy lives, but I am sticking with my blog too as it is a record for me.  

Hugs, Anne xxx
