Today’s Valentine’s Day card features the characters from the Peekaboo Farms stamp set. Although this set has a stone wall image that I could’ve stamped in front of the animals, I chose to go with a Valentine’s Day ‘banner’.
When you’re making cards – does your card come out exactly the way you envisioned it when you’re finished? Do you go through one, two or more revisions before you’re satisfied?
This card went through a couple of revisions. On my first attempt, the Sweet Talk DSP was at the bottom below the scallops. I was not happy with it so I moved it to where it is now. In order to accommodate the DSP, I die cut a larger scallop cardstock with more room at the top.
Second, I did not have a brick wall for the backdrop. I was going for a sky scene, but when I added Balmy Blue ink to the top, I found it was too plain. Hence, the blue ink on the bricks. I chose to leave it there instead of redoing it. Mostly, because I was done with it – just wanted to finish it.
Card Details
- This is a slim line card so it gave me more room to stamp the animals. There was room for one more animal, but since I was sending this card to my 4 grandchildren, I kept it as is.
- For my brick backdrop, I used the image from the Welcoming Windows set. I masked the animals to stamp the brick.
- A 5-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ strip of Sweet Talk DSP was attached to the top of the scalloped cardstock.
- The scallop is from the Scalloped Contours Dies.
- Two hearts from the Sweet Conversation were stamped with Real Red ink, fussy cut and popped with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Valentine’s Day sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink.
- The scalloped cardstock was also popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- The animals were colored with Stampin’ Blends – Cinnamon Cider, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake.
