A beautiful card made with Distress ink, Lavinia Stamps and Josephiena's Collage paper.
The background was made by dabbing watercolor paper in Distress ink and water. Then a text stamp was used to add texture. Various Lavinia stamps were used along the edges for decoration. A rabbit was cut out from one of Josephiena's Collage papers as a focal point. To complete the garden theme, a garden elf was stamped behind the rabbit.
`Love is ...` is a beautiful example for a Valentine's card. For the background, a base was applied with Distress ink `Saltwater Taffy`, by working from the outside in with the blending tool and applying less ink in the middle. Then, with Distress ink `Abandoned Coral` and a stencil from Josephiena's, a border with a leaf pattern was applied. To make the background a little less stiff, some text was stamped here and there with a text stamp from Lavinia Stamps and Distress ink `Saltwater Taffy`.
In the middle, 2 swans and a small bridge for a romantic atmosphere. To make it look like a hidden spot, flowers have been stamped along the edge with VersaFine Clair.
