To start....I pulled out my Gypsy and opened up the Love Struck cartridge by Cricut. I found the conversation hearts located on row 3 last button and went to work. I cut 4 of each color and now I have 3 extra sets of these hearts for another project. The cartridge doesn't offer a shadow for the hearts so I made my own by increasing the size of the hearts and hiding the letters (words) on the hearts so they would cut out as a solid image. Works great!
For my little girl I went to my "extra cuts" box and found some hair I cut out and didn't use on another project. The face is a 1 1/2" scalloped circle punch. Here are the rest of the details.
- Card measures 6" x 4 1/2"
- Card base is Hibiscus Burst by Papertrey Ink
- Border punch - Eyelet Lace by Martha Stewart
- Conversation Hearts - Love Struck Cricut cartridge
- Girls hair - Everyday Paperdolls
- Girls face - 1 1/2" scallop circle
- Girls face features - PK#460 Happy Lashes by Peachy Keen Stamps
- Sign girl is holding - Real Estate sign by EK Success - "hand" is just 2 ovals and I used a decorative edge scissor to shape the "fingers".
- Sweet Valentine stamp is from my stash
- brown chalk ink for shading around hair and face
- ribbon and bling from stash
- white gel pen and black markers for doodling
Tomorrow (Friday 2/11) I'll participating in the Pink-alicious Blog Hop hosted by Robyn, My Pink Stamper and "that" will go live at 8:00 pm CST. So stay tuned for more -- I've got lots to share.
