Paper Romanza


I borrowed the title from Amy Leggate's blog : Paper Romance!
It fits these tiny 3x3
cards perfectly.

I used Love's Language acrylic stamp by CTMH for the heart. The paper is all CTMH (vintage More to Adore ) as well as the ribbon (from the chocolate collection) . Julia sent me a bag of chipboard swirls that I inked in chocolate and used to mount some of the hearts on.
I left the fronts blank intentionally, so I can use these for Valentines, thank yous, or tiny love messages.

MI AMOR


This first exquisite card is from Jeannette Lynton's blog. http://www.jeanettelynton.com/
there are other luscious cards
she has created on the link.

Yes readers, I played with my new language of love stamp set tonight !


I copied Janette's card but
I changed the colours to teal and tones of blush softened with chocolate and vineberry. The card measures 6x6. I guessed at the measurement for the large rectangle as 5 x 4 1/2 and the smaller one at 2 1/2 x 4 but dont quote me on it. The nicest thing about making romantic cards is all the little bling and ribbon you can add. The birdie is just magnifique . I added liquid glass and gel pen to brighten his plumes in a delicate way. I will admit there is a fair bit of scissor cutting involved in this card... the bird was not particularly difficult but I have patience . I actually enjoy cutting good paper with sharp scissors. Call me weird, it must be a tactile- sensory thing. I added the scalloped border using an acrylix stamp and cutting out around the scallops.
