Love Stinks and Cupids Aim


 

 
Hello and welcome.  I'm guest designing for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers this month's theme is B For Black Black Heart (think valentine with black, anti valentine).  I have two different cards to share with you today.
 
First up, is a cute little card using some of my favorite stamps from The Cat's Pajamas (now closed).  After I stamped all of the images I wanted to use in memento tuxedo black ink, I colored the penguins/fish/heart using my Ohuhu markers before layering and adding brads.  I then lightly blended some tattered rose distress ink around the image panel before attaching it to my card base. The final touch was adding a small ivory bow that I dyed using the tattered rose ink.  I'm happy with how this turned out.

Next up is a gothic style Valentine card made using images from Conjurer of Dreams.  Normally, goth is just not my thing, but I am getting better at creating goth themed projects.  I am in LOVE with how this turned out.  
 
I started out by combining the following COD image sets using Photoshop©: Gothic Valentine Collage, Victorian MadamValentine Book Covers.  Once the images were combined, I printed it out onto Neenah white card stock before layering and popping the image panel up on a black card base using pop dots.  After adding some lace ribbon from my stash, I added a long forgotten pink rose to the upper left hand corner.  I then dyed three wooden hearts from Dollar Tree© using memento tuxedo black ink before adhering them to the popped up panel.  I then added some bling to the heart centers (kind of like chocolate) and throughout the main image.
