Our featured guest designers for this month are Nico Favro and Valentine Dalmonte.  They have some great creations for you to see. 

Laura is also having a Love Grows Here Giveaway, details at the bottom.


My first creation is a Valentine's Day card featuring the Avery Elle "More Stories" Stamp Set and Dies.  I also used Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink Kits #10 (Bundled Sage), #11 (Shabby Shutters), #13 (Fossilized Amber), #14 (Blueprint Sketch & Hickory Smoke), and #15 (Wilted Violet).  The stars are from the Glacial Bliss Sequin Mix. 


For this card, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5".   I cut a circle out of a post it note and used it as a mask for the moon.  I also cut a mask for the grass .  I stamped the bunnies and used a masking pen to color them in.  Since there is only one bunny stamp, I used the reverse stamping technique for the other bunny so they would face each other. I outlined the bunnies with a black marker and shaded them with a grey marker.   I colored the sky with the Blueprint Sketch, Hickory Smoke, and Wilted Violet Distress Inks.  The moon was colored with Fossilized Amber and the ground with Bundled Sage and Shabby Shutters.   I used the die set to cut out the little hearts and banner.  I stamped the banner with the "love you" saying and used foam tape to make it pop.  I adhered the white cardstock piece to a black piece of cardstock and then to a decorative polka dot paper.  This was then placed on a white  A2 card.


My second creation is a tag I made using the Altenew Painted Butterflies Stamp Set, Virginia Turtle Holly Jolly Enamel Dots, and Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink Kits #11 (Milled Lavender & Festive Berries), and #13 (Fossilized Amber).


For this tag I cut a piece of watercolor paper into the size and shape tag I wanted.  I used the acrylic block watercolor technique for the background.  I then stamped various butterflies from the Altenew Painted Butterflies Stamp Set in black ink over the dried background.  I applied the distress inks with a cotton tip swab to each butterfly.  I drew hearts with a black marker and inked those also with a cotton tip swab.   I stamped a saying onto a small piece of watercolor paper, distressed it, and adhered it with foam tape.  I tied a red ribbon and it was ready to go to my Valentine!!!

I hope you enjoyed my creations!!!  The products I used in my card and tag can be purchased at Laura's Loft.
