Whimsy Doodles - Love is in the Air

Hello all! So my preschooler is sick home from school for the last two days (again!) and I needed to have some crafting time or go crazy…I decided to make a Valentine's card for the Love Is in The Air challenge over at Whimsy Doodles Stamps.  They have such adorable images!  

Stash Used:

Image:  Whimsie Doodles Flower Girl

Copic Colors:

Skin - E000, E00, E21 (my fave)

Hair - W4, E44, E47, E49

Leaves - YG03, YG01

Shoes - C5, C7

Ink - Distress Antique Linen; Distress Tea; Memento Sky

Paper Used - Doodlebug

Stitched Square Die - My Favorite Things

Notebook Shape - Silhouette Cameo store that I cut with Doodlebug paper

Pink Flowers - Cabochon from Michaels (you can see better in the photo below)

I sponged the distress ink on the sides, with the die still in the frame.  This makes the nice white "border".   And layered and layered….:-) I had way too much fun making this card.  It definitely took me away for a little while…...Hope you join in the challenge as well.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today's verse over at Word Art Wednesday is from John and is about God's loving hopes for each of us.  It was the perfect verse for the cover of this card holder I made for my Auntie Donnie as a Christmas present.  Its a little late!  

After a year of card making, I have a big box of cards collecting.  I hate to seem them just sitting there, so I thought it would be nice to gather some together in a nice box as a gift.  I scoured the internet for tutorials and ended using the fabulous tutorial from Lime Doodle Design.

Here is the inside of the card holder I made.  And here are the four cards I chose for the gift.  

I hope you will play along with us in this Challenge- it is very simple "anything goes"... just create an uplifting and positive card and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.  You can use this week's verse below, but it is not required.  The challenge this week has a lot of lovely sponsors. You should definitely check it out.
