Bloggers Only Valentine Swap - Alora Sweetser

I decided to post these cards on my blog starting today as a countdown to my birthday on February 9th. I figure that way you can get some ideas (*cough cough - CASE) from them before Valentines Day. Please if you do borrow ideas -- give credit to the stamper. These will be done alphabetically. Recipes are listed at the bottom. I hope you will check back everyday to see the newest card from the Bloggers Only Valentine Swap!

Alora Sweetser (StampinSweetie)



Stamps: Love Matters, Canvas and Everyday Flexible Phrases. Paper: Almost Amythest, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Shimmery White. Inks: Black Staz On, Almost Amythest. Accessories: Dimensionals, Rich Regals Brads, Sweet Shoppe Ribbon, Crafters Tool Kit (Mat Pack), Aquapainters, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Stamp-A-Ma- Jig.

I just loved the paper piercing on this card. Also, the subtle background is just gorgeous!!! Oh, and that watercoloring is amazing! Props to Alora for watercoloring on a swap!!! *smiles*

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
