All you need is love.... Love is all you need...
Ever since I saw Lindsay's new set "Love Grows Here", I have had this song in my head and the idea for this card. Take a look at how cute this set is. I especially love this little bird.
I like him (her?) so much that I used him twice on my card. I printed both birds at 15% of size using MS Word. I flipped the second bird horizontally so that she was facing the other way. I love that you can do that so easily with digi stamps. I paper pieced the birds' bodies and colored the beaks, legs, and the heart using markers. (I cut the card from the 2nd bird's beak before adhering.)
The sentiment was also printed using MS Word. I printed out the letters I needed with plenty of spacing in between. I sponged the page with Distress Ink in Tea Dye and then cut the letters out and attached them to the heart.
The heart was cut using the Wild Card Cricut cartridge at 4". I attached to the 5X5 card base. I then cut the heart shaped liner at 3-3/4" and sponged the edges. I have not put a sentiment on the inside yet because I am not sure who I will give it to.
I ended up going back and adding the faux stitching. You see it on the first picture of the card but I forgot to take another picture showing the inside before my hubby left with the camera. (Note to self: If you want to do faux stitching, get it done before adhering everything together. Much easier that way.)

So cute! I love how you stitched up the edges and added that ribbon to the side, the colors are beautiful too! Have a peaceful day!
I love the stitching that you did on the edges and the colors are just beautiful.
Great job!
I just tried doing real sewing on a card for this first time this weekend. I love the deep cranberry color you chose for this valentine! And the pieced together sentiment is perfect. It adds such a uniqueness to the card! Total standout!
How many times do we think the card is done and then WHAM we think it needs something else. Too late to stamp with all the layers and elements in the way. there' always room to paper pierce and faux sew, right? the card is amazing and I love that the heart opens to reveal a sentiment.oooxooo joanne
wow!
wow!
