For my Design Team Project, I used one of the totally love-ly images from the full sheet, Flappers #3.
I added paper flowers and a bright floral decorative paper!  Take a look.

This loving couple is stamped with black dye ink on glossy white CS.  I used an edge die cut to make this curvy edge.

I added a "bunch" of white paper flowers with a pink rhinestone in each center.  Also a white ribbon!

And, here is a final look at this loving couple.  I will use this as a Spring/Summer wedding card, an anniversary card, or a love card.

The Stampsmith Floral Alphabet Love Card

Hi Dreamers!
It is totally all about "Love" in Dreamland this week!  On today's card, I spelled out the word LOVE with letters from The Stampsmith's Floral Alphabet.  I added all kinds of pretty embellishments fit for a heartfelt Valentine's Day card.

The letters were stamped with brown ink on pink CS.  I added some color to the letters with markers.

I die cut a heart (A Muse Studios) from Velum.  

The doily was hand cut to fit on top of the velum heart.  I used the rest of the doily on the bottom of the card. 

I added some red satin ribbon and some tiny rhinestone hearts (A Muse Studios).  And what would a Valentine's Day card be without lots of pearls??!!  

So, I like how this turned out.  Again, an example of how you can make a Valentine's Day card with everyday stamps.  This would be pretty with a name instead of Love too.


And, now a few Heart inspired Challenges!!
Flourishes: hearts
Anything Challenge: Vintage/shabby chic
Craft-room: make embellishment--I made the heart
Tuesday Alchemy: hearts
Creative Belli challenge: hearts---paper doilies
Little Red Wagon: love
365 Cards: Word Wednesday-love

Well, I have to get going here.   Have busy day today.  All good stuff.  I hope your day is filled with LOVE.  Love ya.
