Hello, Festive Friday! I had a RR day today but a crafty girl uses that time to play! I’m playing in a new challenge this evening and it’s called Festive Friday, the caveat to this challenge is there’s a twist. This weeks challenge is Valentine’s Day or Sequins.. since I missed Valentine’s I decided to create a love card.

I cut a piece of Koh-I-Noor Bristol card and smooshed a few Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick) onto the card. The panel was die cut out with my SSS Heart of Flowers die. I inlaid each cut out piece onto a panel Neenah Solar White card (110lb) popped some of the pieces up with foam dots for dimension. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Love Sentiment stamp in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and scattered a few sequins.

To finish my card I adhered the panel onto an A2 side fold Bazzill (Flamingo) card base.
Crafty Supplies
Paper: Neenah Solar White (110lb), Koh-I-Noor Bristol, Bazzill (Flamingo)
Stamp: Pretty Pink Posh Love Sentiments
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick)
Accessories: SSS Heart Flowers Die, Lucy Little Things (Sunset Sequins)
