…I Love You

It’s Wednesday and I’m actually posting my third card for this week…GO, ME!!!  :)   I found myself in a coloring mood this weekend, so I figured I’d go ahead and make some cards too.  Once again I sat down at my laptop and designed my very own custom sweetheart image by merging two newer By LORi Designs’ digital stamp sets (“Puddle Jumper-Ainsley” and “Puddle Jumper-Davey”…but I created the sentiment myself) with Photoshop Elements 8.0.  Whatcha think?

I printed the edited image out and colored it all with Copic Sketch Markers.  I wanted to keep the layout simple, but I added tons of textures and dimension.  I cut the focal panel out with the Top Note Die and my Sizzix Big Shot, then added some Saddle-Stitched Hibiscus Burst Ribbon and White Pearls along the bottom of the panel.  I paired the completed image with some patterned paper from the Tea Party Designer Series Paper pack along with some Basic Gray and Pretty in Pink Cardstock.  I added some Gray Stitching to the patterned paper panel, then attached each layer to the card base using several Dimensionals.  I added some *sparkle* to the heart elements by using some Crystal Stickles to complete the card.

That’s it for me today!  Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you again next time!  Until then…
