February 1 - February 28, 2013
Here is my card using three of the images in the set:
The outside of the card - with a heart-shaped cut out window |
To create the outside, I cut a window out of white CS and used a pale grey alcohol marker to give some depth to the cut side. The key image was coloured using alcohol markers and a white gel pen, adorned with a gem, and fussy cut. I then placed it partly over the cut out:
This is the inside of the card
As you can see, I used fabulous black lace print DP from Fabscraps and placed the cut out image so that it can be seen through the window in the front of the card. I added some Stickles too. The white cloud effect makes it look as if the keyhole is 'floating' and was achieved by colouring with a white gel pen and smudging it with my finger while it was still wet.
The sentiment on my card allows the card to be given for any occasion where love is involved, even a 'just because' offering from one lover to another. I am all for making every day as special as Valentine's Day!
