I Love you - Love birds on branch 7" x 5"card - 
Day 29 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

So it is nearly the end of January and I have surprised myself by having continued with my 366 day challenge!

For this one, I have returned to the Love subject as there is still time to make (or buy) this card...

I Love you - Love birds on branch 7" x 5"card - So, I first of all selected the topper of 2 love birds sitting on a branch and matted it on to silver mirror card (you can buy them already cut into an A6 size now from Hunkydory).

I then wanted the image to stand out a bit more so I used some black and white Washi tape along the centre of the card and then used some red Ultra strong liner tape on either side of it and placed some TODO red foil on it - you then peel it off and you are left with a foiled strip.

Using Stix2 foam pads, I then stuck the topper on to the card leaving more room at the bottom for my sentiment which I made using my Brother Scan n Cut to make the design from their standard images in CANVAS. I then cut it out on to red linen cardstock (as this is a bit thicker, I had to use a higher blade number).You could of course use any pre-made sentiments or die cuts.

I then glued them to the card just underneath the birds and then added some black NUVO crystal pearl drops at the bottom.

I Love you - Love birds on branch 7" x 5"card - inside
For the inside of the card, I chose an insert from Hunkydory and cut it out using the largest die from the Sara Davies Love and Romance Nested Hearts die collection and then cut out some of them in some red and white heart patterned paper.
I glued two of the small ones on the heart and faux stitched round it using a Sigma Micron fineliner pen. The envelope has a larger matching heart on the flap so it all ties together.

And there you are a pretty card that you can use for Valentine's Day or just to say I love you to that special person in your life. You can buy this on my website here
