Kreative Kay: Feburary - Valentines day.

This week I have started to do some regular card classes. I usually do workshop pages only.

I do find it really hard to make cards that I don't have to pintrest, or use other ideas.

Well this fine Saturday, I have managed to make my first ever card I'm pretty happy with without use of pintrest and other consultants ideas.

Items Used:

Bamboo ink pad

Pixi ink pad

Assorted Edge Flair stamp set

Country Born stamp set.

Pixi cardstock

White Cardstock

CTMH Bling gems

Trying to be unique and different to what I'm used to I stamped the background using the 2nd step in two step stamping. I stamped the first inked up onto a scrap piece of paper and use the left over ink on the card to stamp the lighter image.

I did this all the way down to the bottom (using stamps from Assorted Edge Flair)

I left space to do the Pixi xoxo.

The darker image stamped (chicken wire type image) was stamped at full ink.

I didn't worry too much about how much the stamp was inked up. I was after the distressed look.

I cut out a 3x3 piece of Pixi card stock for mounting the white 2.75x2.75 white card that I stamped the tree onto.

(inking around the edges of the white with the bamboo ink)

The small "I love you" phrase is just stamped onto a piece of white card.

I distressed the edges with the edge of the scissors before inking them.

I really like the overall look of this card and will be using this for valentines day. Not your usual lovey dovey card. But I think that's why I like it. Its very down to earth.

Below are some cards I made using the February stamp of the month "A Happy Hello"

Very simple but lovely cards.

All three of the cards used today are for a card class this coming Tuesday.
