#GDP327: Valentine's Day

So excited to play along with the Global Design Project challenge again this week - it's a Valentine's Day theme this week, and I am loving the Valentine's products this year!

 

I am featuring the Catching Butterflies stamp set on Facebook this week, so I used that stamp set, and it's so sweet and fun.

 

Lots of little details to note on this card: the girl's skin is colored with our new Natural Tones Blends Markers! These will be available on Tuesday, or you can add them to a starter kit right now. Her dress is pieced together with the Sweet Talk DSP. I stamped her on Basic White cardstock and colored her in, then stamped her on the DSP as well. I fussy cut her dress and glued it onto my colored image. This is such a fun way to add patterns to your stamped images! Have you tried paper piecing before?

 

And one more tip: the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker is perfect for adding a little bit of shadow and dimension. If you look carefully, I used it on the net.

 

Here is a full list of the products I used on this card:

Stamps: Catching Butterflies

Ink: Memento Black, Blushing Bride, Stampin' Blends Markers: Light Pool Party, Soft Suede, Natural Tones Blends (SU800)

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, Shimmery White Cardstock

Embellishments: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack

Tools: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Water Painters, Scalloped Contours Dies, Sweet Hearts Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Happy Stamping!
