Love is in the Air

My creation today is one of the cards that is the highlight of my February workshop.  'Love' was one of the requested themes from the hostess and this card was the approved sample. The stamp set used can provide for many alternate occasions such as wedding, anniversary, or even a baby shower card.

Love is a great theme, and can be used among friends, family, and especially your significant other. Red is a the first color we think of when it comes to hearts, but don't let that stop you from picking other colors in the rainbow. Choose the color of the wedding invitation for the bride and grooms congratulations card, your best friends favorite color for her birthday card, or even the color you have on hand. The possibilities are endless.

Paper:
Whisper White (SU)
Real Red (SU)

Happy Birthday, Everyone

Since I started selling my cards at the Eclectic Boutique in Carthage, I have been inspired to make cards on an almost daily basis. The long weekends are a blessing to me, since my four legged fur baby has designated her job as supervisor, inspector, and most importantly, helper. With her assistance, it sometimes takes longer for me to complete a project, but doing it in stages has been status quo since she moved in with us.

Here is today's creation. I started out with a different plan in mind, falling in love with this stamp after receiving a birthday card featuring it. I like the elegance of this card and with the gender neutrality of this design, I can create a masculine card by simply changing the colored element seen here.
