As you can see, how versatile all these awesome designs are! Perfect for Spring and Valentine's cards!

So, my take on these :

Card 1

For my first card, I am showcasing Layered Bauhaus Spring background Builder stencils.

For my card panel, I used Kitsch flamingo, Majestic violet, Evergreen bough and Prize ribbon Archival inks. The sentiment is from the Big & Bold Love stamp set.

Card 2

This card works for a Heart Day and is a card to tell someone how much you love them! I love the quarterly hearts, so many variations you can use.

First, on a white card panel, I used Kitsch Flamingo, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Crushed Olive, Twisted Citron, Mermaid, Lagoon, and Wilted Violet DO inks.

Then I flipped the stencil, and I applied Unicorn Dreams Texture paste. I love the pastel look.

To finish off this card, I settled on the large outlined sentiment, "Happy Heart Day," from the You Are the Outlined Sentiments stamp set. I love the font, and I really liked how this sentiment filled up the card a little more with the playfulness of the textured background!

Card 3

This stamp set has stolen my heart! This set contains a mix of fonts, styles and different sizes of sentiments, my favourite now till date!

I love the striking black with just a pop of colour.

This is a one-layer CAS card. I watercolored the Bold Be Mine sentiment and xoxo word using my ZIG watercolor brushes. And highlighted the hearts, lips and rose in red.

For a softer impact, I added a vellum scalloped heart over a red heart as an embellishment.

 Hello friends!

On a piece of white CS, I first die the cross-stitch heart and partially embossed XOXO on both sides of the heart. Then die cut the cross stitch heart from a scrap of red CS and arranged all the pieces in the white negative space.

Now stamped the sentiment you are my everything in jet black ink. Die-cut a tab and stamped the Happy Valentine's day one in red DI to match the focal point.

Now adhered that panel to my red CS using foam tape.

Happy crafting!

Lots of Love!

 Hello!

Lots of love what we need! Not just as we think ahead to Valentine's day but all year long!

To begin with, I started with a heart die from MFT and extended the trunk part. What really I love this die about various sizes of small hearts and leaves and its intricate design!

I stamped the pretty girl and colored her with my ZIG markers and added some dots on her dress for more texture.

Then created a ground for her. Added those part of tiny hearts in red color with some sparkle into the tree. and painted some more love confetti in the air to blow.

In the end, added the sentiment. Added that die cut panel on my card base with some dimension.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed my card!
