Sneak Day 2: Heartlines Blog Hop!

It’s day two of the sneak peeks for Flourishes' January Release and I hope that you’ve enjoyed the offerings so far! This next set is about creating a note or two for those friends that you truly care about -- both near and far! The good news is, while these sentiments are from the heart, their messages are good not only for Valentine's Day, but the whole year through!

Introducing......

 

This 4 by 3" set -- called Heartlines --  is a perfect addition to any of Flourishes images to send some love this Valentine's Day! Four artistically scripted sentiments perfect for friends and Valentines! This set even offers a darling row of hearts to add as a border, box or accent!

On to my creation!

I have to admit, I don't often create cards just with a sentiment as the focal point -- but this this one was a fun one just because I liked adding in the Spellbinders dies -- Labels Twenty  (cut thanks to my Grand Calibur) -- and the fun coordinating paper.  The paper is a mix of My Mind's Eye Blush and BasicGrey Basic Kraft. Add in some crochet trim, some fabulous ribbon and an elegant brad and.. ta da!! Oh, I almost forgot, I did use some Ranger Distress ink (Antique Linen) and sponged around my shapes after I sanded down the embossed edges. Add some stitching around one of the layers and that, my friends, is it! Easy peasy!

Everytime I see a card with MME paper on it I drool. I'm SO glad we bought these at that booth at CHA. I can still picture us all giddy like little girls around those MME guys and all that paper! LOL! Awesome creation Julie!

Candy S. said...

Lovely saying!

denise g. said...

First off, I thought you created that background with the typed words and bright pink posies, but I looked closer. Love how you turned the Labels Twenty two different ways and used the pink ribbon two different ways - very nice! Your brad is elegant and the crochet trim is precious. This is a wonderful card even without coloring and bling. Extremely well done! What's for supper? ;)

Sue D said...

Very pretty--I like how you showcased the sentiment.

Leslie Miller said...

Ooooh, I like it! Great paper combo. Very cool layering of the dies!

Hugs,
Naomi
