Here's a fun Valentine for you. Actually, it could be used for an occasion other than a Valentine too.
The Less is More challenge this week is to make a ONE LAYER CARD using STRIPES.
I love these striped hot air balloons!
All supplies are Stampin' Up!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Up, Up and Away
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black, SU Markers (Basic Black, Real Red, Sahara Sand)
Paper: Whisper White
And here's something else I'd like to share.
My friend and neighbor, Macie, shared these stamps with me. I believe she said her aunt got them in the 30's. I had fun playing with them and made a Valentine for her with them. Don't you love the expression on that "Betty Boop" face? (I straightened the sentiment before I gave it to her. Oops!) Luke just asked me if that was me and Pop?
The frame was cut with the new Labels Framelits Dies in the Occasions Mini Catalog and the colors are Cherry Cobbler and white.
I hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day full of love and smiles.
Thanks for stopping in.
Enjoy!

The red & white looks so fresh on the balloons.
ReplyDeleteThe stripey balloons are just fab as is the sentiment. How cute are those faces? and i love the new framelits dies. x
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got to stamp with 80-year old stamps...how cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteI love your card...it's such a simple layout but has such impact!
Great way to use stripes for the LIM challenge, Bonnie! And those stamps from the 30s are so interesting, and really show how different the stamps are all these years later. The faces remind me of sweet story books I'd read to my girls.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant cards Bonnie
