Hi Everyone - hope your Friday is going well and that you have some lovely things planned for the weekend. I am off to the Craft show at Sandown Park, Esher tomorrow with my daughter-in-law Bev. Will let you know if we buy anything.
Woo Hoo. This week I have had a win for my CoC Masking card and a top 3 award for Stampotique Again card. How amazing is that?
This card is for my husband for Valentine Day and I am quite pleased with the outcome. It looks better IRL.
My inspiration has come from a number of challenge themes -
Linda's amazing CoC challenge at Studio L3 - colourful layered fragments
Love and/or Valentine which can be found at Lexi's Creations, Paper Playtime, Tuesday Throwdown, Theme Thursday,
Feelings (and/or feely) at Ink on My Fingers
Hearts at Mark's Finest Papers, Totally Papercrafts,
Distressing - Crafty Purple Frog
Forgotten stamp - Crafty Catz - this stamp has been in the drawer for ages and not seen the light of day.
Please turn to page 57 for the instructions of how to make the fragment. I have used it as a spotlight over the stamped image.
Supplies
TH paper from Seasonal Stack
Stamp - Tin Can Mail by Inkadinkadoo
Ideology fragment
TH Heart Wings die
Crafts Too dotty embossing folder
Heirloom Gold perfect pearls
Glossy accents and Crackle accents
DIs - vintage photo and walnut stain
Alcohol inks - Meadow, Denim, Butterscotch, Red Pepper, Gold
Other embellishments from my box of bits
Gold distress stickles
Take care - luv and hugs xoxox

Ooh, I LOVE this, Brenda! Great use of that sweet Valentine paper, and the Fragment is AWESOME! What a fun way to use that little photo from the Paper Stash! I love how you combined all these fabulous elements into a wonderful, dimensional collage.
This is amazing, Brenda. I'm just thinking how it is possible that you have so different style in every card you have done! You are very talented cardmaker, hope that you know that!
