Crafty Adventurista: Romance & Friendship February DT Project 2 For Country View Crafts and Challenges

Hello All,

I’m back again with my second DT project for February in the theme of Romance and Friendship, for Country View Crafts and Challenges on Facebook.

The challenge runs until the end of the month and is open worldwide - you can join the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/164920247712393

You must use products from brands that Country View Crafts stocks, and please mention them in your post. You can enter 5 times each month with different projects and one winner will be selected randomly.

There is a fabulous prize of a Pink Ink Design stamp set and also a stamp set from Phil Martin Sentimentally Yours - two sets in this prize!!

I’ve made a friendship (birthday) card this time using AALL and Create Janet Klein Heart Needs stamps and Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Side Order Love Notes. I decided to make my card rectangle 5x7 inch size.

I stamped my girl from the Heart Needs set with Archival Ink and coloured with Distress Watercolor pencils, added a few white Posca pen lines and dots for highlights, and then fussy cut her out. I also stamped the sentiment and cut this out too.

I cut to size, with my Tim Holtz deckle trimmer, a printed background card from AALL and Create and then using Distress Inks: Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy and Frayed Burlap, I added some colour to it.

Using the same colours in Distress sprays and also a little Walnut Stain, I sprayed a small piece of watercolor card and finished with a spray of Distress Spritz Saltwater Taffy.

I then ran it through my Sidekick using the embossing folder from Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Side Order Love Notes, tore this into strips between the hearts and positioned them on the background card.

Then it was a matter of just putting it all together. I laid out the sentiment on the front and drew a line between the words to make it look like it was hanging. I also added some glossy accents to her eyes.

And here is the finished card. My friend was very happy with it. :-)
