Love...

This is a card my daughter asked me to make for her to give to her boyfriend. She wanted a similar card to the one I showed yesterday but no pink and no cute girls!

The stamp I've used is a Magenta one and was part of a collection I bought very cheaply on ebay ( I love ebay).


On this card to do the charm I decided to try out die cut words and shrink plastic. This is one of the words from the Cuttlebug Love Combo set and as you can see it worked a treat.


At http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ this week they are celebrating love and the challenge is to use the word 'love' on your card. Mine may be tiny but it's extra cute - well I think so!

Materials used:
  • Red pearlescent card

  • Black base card

  • Magenta stamp

  • Cuttlebug Love Combo Set

  • Wizard heart die

  • Shrink plastic

  • black organza ribbon and pearls from stash.

My card is also perfect for the challenge at http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/ where the theme is 'Hearts'.
