Victorian Valentine

Today you have my final Valentine using an image from Nicecrane Designs.

 

I went with a somewhat Victorian look for this one.

Pieces of Dresden scrap were used for the gold borders.  The deep purple paper is a specialty paper made in India.

I am very impressed with the quality of the images from Nicecrane Designs. They are high resolution and very easy to resize to fit your need.
A big thank you to Ignacio for providing these lovely images for me to try.

You can find the other cards here (#1), here (#2), and here(#3).

Sweet Maiden Valentine

Here is my 3rd of  four Valentines made using an image from Nicecrane Designs.  Sometimes it is fun to use non-traditional colors for holidays as I did on this card.

I used decorative layers cut with the Spellbinders die Resplendent Rectangles and then "popped" the layers using fun foam. I find that using fun foam instead of little squares or circles keeps your layers more uniform and keeps the sags away.

The pale green paper has a slight sheen and pattern to it. I embellished with tulle, paper flowers, and oval shaped pearls.  A Valentine greeting is on the inside of the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Love's Greeting Valentine

Here is my second Valentine card using an image from Nicecrane Designs.

I had just the right patterned paper (several years old) by Fancy Pants to go with the soft pinks and greens in the image. (Never worry about that hoard of paper in your closet...you will eventually find a use for it!) Once again, I used a die from Spellbinders to frame the image.

Thou art as sweet

as sweetest wine,

And I thy Faithful 

Valentine.

Sweet Valentine

I recently had a pleasant surprise and an offer that I could not refuse. Ignacio of Nicecrane Designs offered me one of his digital files to try. After spending a lot of time looking at all of the beautiful images offered, I chose the Romantic Valentine Collection 2.

The following card is one of 4 designs that I will be showing in the next few days.

This was a quick and easy card thanks to the sweet image, already distressed printed paper, a couple of Spellbinder nestabilities and an edge punch. And can't forget that little heart. It is from the Vintage Valentine Digital Kit  from Crafty Secrets.

Some tiny heart shaped brads added to a scrap of the bg paper add the finishing touch.

I am entering this in the challenge going on at Try it on Tuesday, celebrating Valentine's Day by including at least one heart on your project.

Thanks for visiting today!

Theme Thursday-Vintage Valentine

This little girl on an old Valentine was the perfect fit to peek through the heart of another old Valentine so I put them together, added some stickles and came up with my submission to today's Theme Thursday challenge of Vintage Valentines.
