Hampton Art and Core'Dinations Blog Hop - Day 5

Welcome to the Hampton Art Core'Dinations Hop! It looks like Blogger left out my pictures this morning, so I'm really sorry if you dropped by earlier and missed my project.

I used one of my favorite Hampton Art stamp sets for this card - Best of Times.  I stamped the flourishes on the blue paper, and colored it in with the Smooch Illuminate. The vines were heat embossed, using the same set, as well as the sentiment.

I love how fun it was to distress the Core'Dinations papers! They created the greatest texxtures for this card.

WorldWin Cardstock

Cut a 5 3/4" square of patterned paper, positioning the doily print at the top.  Mount onto a 6 x 6 card base.  Die cut the decorative border in glue in the lower left corner.  Cut the sentiment from the paper pack, and use dimensional adhesive to position in the center of the card.  Stamp the behive and color with copics.  Fussy cut the image and glue onto the lower right corner of the sentiment.  Fussy cut a butterfly from the paper, shape, and glue to the upper left corner of the sentiment.  Stamp and cut two leaf branches and color with Copics.  Make 3 sets of flowers using the Tattered Blossoms stamp and die.  Each flower should have 4 layers.  Color using gelatos and add a Dew Drop to the center.  Arrange your flower cluster as shown.

Valentine Tag

You just have a couple more days to pull together your Valentine's goodies, and what ever you choose, it always makes things extra special to add some homemade love.  I created a tag to decorate a bottle of champagne for the special occasion, but you could just as easily add this to a box of chocolates (or even better - both!)

 

 I added the sentiment over the printed vintage picture (Pion Papers) -
