Love by the Sea

Hooray for the 15th - the day that the Dueling Darlings can reveal their cards!  The Dazzlers enjoyed a wonderful kit put together by our own Paola, and it was perfect for Valentine's Day, or a special anniversary, an engagement congrats, etc.!

Here's my creation with her goodies:

The only items used from my stash were the blue & red CS and the red Stickles.  Everything else was supplied in the kit.  WOW, what a great kit (many thanks Sweet P!)

This stamp has a special place in my heart, as I've used it to make a birthday card for our son, coloring it to match him and his lovely girlfriend.  So, of course, I colored it the same way this time around.  They are so good for each other and we adore her!




Here's a little close up of the sentiment that we had to work with.  I hand cut (since I don't have many punches) the For You With Love, then used the one circle punch I own to cut the red layer.  Dressed it up with a thick layer of Stickles and popped it up with dimensionals.

This is a closer look at the left side of the card front, showing more of the wonderful DPs that Paola gave us.  She also included those wonderful brads and flowers.  Aren't they pretty?


Paola also included 2 types of glitter ribbon, some red & white floral ribbon and a few other brads.  I spent so long trying to tie a bow with the red glitter ribbon that most of the glitter ended up on my work surface, and the bow looked pretty sad so I didn't use it.  :(

All in all, I am pleased with the colors and the layout so a big "THANK YOU" to Paola for the kit!

Be sure to drop by the other Dueling Darlings and admire their lovely and talented creations.  Their blogs are linked in my side bar.

This is my 41st card in my quest for 100 Cards in 100 Days (the only items used from my stash were the red & blue CS and Stickles)  Thank you for dropping by today!
