Today is Valentine`s day also we from CWS challenge want to share our Mid Month Inspiration not at 15 like normally month but at 14 of February :)
Here is my card:
As I told you I never bought any Valentine Stamps but this week I think I like to bought one of this lovely set from Penny Black. I love the balloon Heart on the set and the LOVE sentiment that under that Balloon.
I colored with Peerless Transparent Watercolor and also gave shading with grey Copic Marker under the heart Images cause I made boo boo area on the heart number 2...sadly..I dont want to threw away my paper also how to do? I took my Stencil and added pink Distress Ink and also added shading, with grey color on each heart.

---------------------------------------------
My second card I made for DT card for the challenge Cards und More, the theme this time is Valentine`s Card.
I used again the same lovely Image from Pattie Gomez (like THIS card), you can find it on her Etsy Shop named: Hearts With Bow
I colored with red and pink PeerlessTransparent Watercolor, and I added also some white gel ink on it for accent. It is not my style to used Design Paper but I try this time...its too loud I guess :) but the best part is as I made the word LOVE, I just bought from MFT the Alphabet DIES and cut it 3 times each. The first layer I covered 4 times with clear ink and clear embossing powder. The paper was red and I love the shiny from embossing powder on my LOVE sentiment.

You've made two lovely Valentine's Day cards, Monika!!!! If you had not mentioned the boo-booo on the first card, I would not have seen it!!!!! Love your fun heart shaped balloons and the beautiful letters!!! The sponged bg is great!!!! The chevrons on the second card have the focal panel really stand out wonderfully!!!! Lovely cards, my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!!!!
Hugz
These are both really stunning creations Monika!! I love the "love" lettering on both of these designs and your hearts on them as well!! You've done a brilliant job with the layouts and colors too!! HUGS
ReplyDeleteYour cards are great. I love the one with the bow (the one for the challengeblog) Great image and background.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Michelle (DT-sister)
I don't think your pattern paper is too loud, Monika. It bring us right into the main image of lovely colored hearts. The thick, shiny letters were a great addition. Thanks for sharing your card at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteWow this card and the background squares and the hearts and love make a great card. I love the colors and white dots. Fun creative card.
ReplyDeleteHi Monika! Wow! Gorgeous cards. I love your stenciled background on the first one - clever way to cover up your boo-boo! Thanks for joining us at Cards in Envy.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your gorgeous Valentine's Day cards! Those balloons holding up LOVE is such an awesome stamp set! Thanks for playing along with us at DL.ART Challenges!
ReplyDeleteHallo Monika, da sind Dir aber tolle Karten vom Bastetisch gehüpft - eine Karte schöner als die andere. Danke für Deinen netten Kommentar.

ReplyDeleteFab card and I love your designer papers, great lettering too, thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers, Jac x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the heart stamp and the embossed lettering is wonderful! Thank you for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards celebrating LOVE, Monika. The balloon hearts on your first card will bring a smile to the recipient's face. The pretty bow with the hearts dangling make a perfect Valentine! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly been busy and both of these Valentines cards are gorgeous. Just love your card for our challenge, the water colouring is done perfectly and think it was a fab idea to do the grey shading, even if it was to cover a boo boo. Someone would have been very happy to have received either of these and I'm so happy to see you at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous link up to Uniko's challenge. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to have the letter hang from the balloons ;o) Thank you for joining my "Add some Texture" challenge at the Crafty Cardmakers Blog! Happy crafting,
