Hi there. Valentine's Day is fast approaching!
Here's the card I made for my DH.
A crafty friend gave me some veneer and I die cut several sizes
of primitive hearts from it. Some I stained with Distress Stain.
I adhered the largest to a piece of die cut foam for extra stability
and stacked the others on top.
Another dear friend sent me this awesome birch bark paper. I've
admired it a long time and finally gave in to gluing it to a card.
It's for DH after all. Next to ducks, he likes trees.
I've die cut the love you from a snippet of red watercolor and
some cut from white and stacked them all for dimension.

Snagged two rolls of this birch wrapping paper the minute I saw it! Your handsome card has shamed me into maybe using some of it......
ReplyDeleteFabulous card!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! How I love the look of the wood heart on the birch bark paper! I have a bunch of wood veneer to use for this but the thin dies just don't cut it very well. Love this design and need to bring mine out to play again. This is a terrific, masculine Valentine!
ReplyDeleteYour rustic card is gorgeous! The layered heart is lovely and oh, how it pops against the beautiful woodgrain background! Thrilled to see this gem in the Just Us Girls gallery!

ReplyDeleteIf that's paper I am in awe, Bonnie. It looks like real birch bark. I'd frame it and hang it on my wall. ;) Those simple hearts are just perfect with it.
