Hi Friends,
Today being the first of the month its time again for a new Challenge at Crafter's Corner blog and our theme this time is "Expression's of Love "...What could be better than this as this is the month of Love :)....So for my inspiration this time I decided to do a shabby chic Valentine card with lot of layering and details ...Here's a look at what I have created :
The two small flowers are handmade and the butterfly is embossed using Ranger Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder and colored using Distress inks ...Here's a close up of both the pics :)
And a look at the butterfly now :
The Background multi dots paper and the sentiment are all Digital freebie's from Papercraft Inspiration site ...You can check them out Here ...:) And the corrugated heart is recycled from an old packaging box :). For the first time I have even done paper distressing on the top panel of my card using a serrated scissors I have and I am loving the look of it :).I have chosen very soft colors for my card as for me Valentine is synonymous with soft dreamy colors !!
I was also inspired by the colors from IBSIC :
