I am so honored to be among these amazing designers! Thank you, Lynne for giving me this opportunity! It's been a pleasure working with these fabulous new dies, and the very beautiful Splash of Color collection, Cotswald Manor.
"Love Always" Card
The pinks in the Cotswald Manor collection are beyond beautiful! And, the paper with the cut outs is so pretty. I cut out the journaling block, envelope, and "love always" banner from that sheet. Grey chalk ink really made the cream and pink colors pop!
Next, I colored a white
Heart Doily die...
by covering it with gesso, and then painted it with
making a creamy reddish pink color. Once dry, I lightly grazed the doily with black chalk ink. Then, I mixed some more of the Love Struck glaze with
to achieve this color and effect:
Valentine's Day Card Holder
This year I decided to make a mail box holder for my daughter to use for her Valentine's Day party at school. Again, I used the Splash of Color Cotswald Manor collection for this project.
The mailbox is a paper mache box. I started by covering the box with the different papers on the outside:
and the inside:
Here are a couple of images with the box open:
I colored the red flag with the Inka Gold in Lava Red.
Then I added a
Heart Flourish die...
And, added some tiny dots using the
then added a stamp cut out from the Cotswald Manor paper.
I used the same die and technique on the back of the box:
I tried not to add too much to the front because it will be open and needs to sit somewhat flat, but it did need something, and this
Elegant Heart Frame die...
was a beautiful addition. Again, I used the Viva pearl pen as I did on the other dies to bring some fluidity to the project.
Here's a close up for more details:
