Welcome
The theme this month at We Love Stamping is Romance (there is also an Anything Goes option)
I don't have many heart stamps - three in total, and a few with a heart included, one of the later features on my card today.
I started with a square card - one of a handful and blanks and envelopes I found when unpacking, which worked in my favour when it came to stamping, as I could simply rotate the card to stamp the rose image, and thus form a circle. I used Memento London Fog ink, and a rose stamp from Stamp Simply
The central image I stamped and embossed, and coloured the central heart with some red paint.
This is a very old stamp (over 20 years) and still one I enjoy using
The inside was simply decorated using some red striped Washi tap
I stamped and painted the rose on the envelope.

ReplyDeleteLOVING the way you made the flower circle using your single rose stem Maxine - that's not easy to do! What a delicate cat image too. The whole thing has a very art nouveau vibe and it's gorgeous! Vicky x

This is such a lovely and beautiful card Maxine. I love you finished it off in the inside and on the envelope, so very lovely. x
ReplyDeleteLove the intertwined tails on these two. At first though I hadn't realised they were two cats, i just saw it as a shape.
ReplyDeleteI do like the rose circle and the way you have replicated this on the envelope. It's those little details you do that make your work outstanding.
Blessings, Neet xx
Simplicity is something that always catches my eye. I am not known for doing clean and simple crafts. Your use of just enough red for color is perfection. Love the rose.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Maxine, Using the square card and rotating the rose created a beautiful framework. The outlined uncolored portion made a beautiful setting for the focal point. Again not coloring and popping red produces a stunning effect. Smiles and hugs, Kathy
