Sending you love

Here's a wonderful card from a kit that I got from Paper Source. It comes with lovely specialty papers.  I altered the sentiment (it was supposed to be a mother's day card), I added the lovely wooden embellishment and added the background.  I thought this card was a lovely sentiment card for Valentine's day without being too lovey-dovey.  It sends a clear message of heart without sap!


Question of the day:  what's your favorite embellishments?

I am sure mine are no surprise, I would have to say, lace, ribbon, buttons, wood pieces

Pretty card that could be used any time of year. The embellishment is perfect. I generally use rhinestones, pearls and sequins with adhesive backs, and occasionally use ribbons and twine.

Your card is elegant! I use lots of rhinestones and small wooden pieces and buttons along with ribbons and twine! My favorite embellishments are the packages of die cuts and sticker embellishments, as I can coordinate them with the scrapbook paper I already own. I try to keep my cards fairly flat so that I don’t have to add extra postage! Audrey R in Austin

I think this makes a perfect Valentine card. Most of mine seem too cutesy for an older person. I love enamel dots and small gems for embellishments. I like to keep my cards rather flat for mailing.

I think half pearls are my fav embellishment. That's a lovely card.

Kathy Dippner said...

Beautiful card Holley! As I said a few days ago, I'm don't use a lot of embellishments. When I do, I use Nuvo drops & small gems/sequins.
