Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!

Today I have a couple of  holiday-appropriate cards to share:

I used this sketch and some old Marah Johnson rock n rock grunge scrapbook designs from back in the day. I wrapped the ribbon around a piece of cardstock before adding to the card front. Added brads to the ribbon. I added the long rectangle embellishment and the corner brads. It was a pretty simple card to make.

Supplies Used:
Office Depot card stock
DCWV Mat Stack
Creative Imaginations Marah Johnson papers, embellishments and ribbon
Heart brads from my stash
Corner rounder punch
Stamps: Artistic Outpost, Avery Elle

 

The inside and back of my card...

And now for Card #2:

 

The sketch I used this time was in homage to Cards In Envy which closes its challenge doors with this sketch. Sad to see them go as I only recently discovered them. But I enjoyed what I had! As you know, I resize my sketches in PSE and when I made this an A2, it changed the large circle to an oval and I went with it! 

Supplies Used:

Michaels Recollections Heavy card stock

DCWV patterned paper

Red construction paper

Stamps: ITDS Llama Love

Promarkers alcohol markers (for coloring the digi stamp)

Dies: Avery Elle Dotted Elle-ments, Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals

Paper hearts confetti from my stash

Wink of Stella red glitter pen

Uni Ball Signo white gel pen

Zebra Sarasa green gel pen

Sakura red metallic gel pen

I have fallen in love with this lil llama. The digital stamps set has 3 of them. It's primarily a Christmas set, the other two llamas are decked out all holly jolly, but there is one nekked llama with a heart on her hind quarters, and I said that's perfect for a Valentine! 

Did some cutting and pasting with one of the sentiments in the set to make it good for this card...

 A close-up of the seriously cute llama...that I colored with my Promarkers and gel pens.

And the back of my card. I left the inside blank to write a personal note.
