Not your traditional Valentine with hearts I know. I made this with a freebie from Cheri Wenger (Don't forget she still has a sale going on). MyGraphico has been offering some wonderful free images weekly from some very talented artists in the Brag Party Group. The beautiful bird was the free image this week, it is 1 piece from the Lovey Dovey set. I combined it with Cheri Wenger's SVG Framing Shapz 1, which I love. True sign of a great SVG is when you can cut it into this small of a size and it still works, this set really does cut like butter. The beautiful bubble pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty. , the colors were perfect for this card. The papers are Tim Holtz glassine and Crafty Secrets. I don't know why I save these beautiful papers, it's like I'm afraid to use them, lol. Still figuring out my Big Shot Pro, I embossed the glassine and the and the Shapz with it. I also used some Tim Holtz distress inks on this. Thanks for looking. ~Diane

This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, how unusual and pretty this is Diane... and those papers are to die for and I can totally understand why you don't use them. They are gorgeous. The birds and the nesties look so nice and the distressing adds character.
