This is the Valentines Card I made for my husband. Most of my masculine sets retired and so I thought of this set. I have not used it in a while, but totally love it. I stamped the truck with hearts in the bed on the mat of confetti white and then again with the dogs in the bed on a separate piece of confetti white. I water-colored the hearts, truck and dogs with my Many Marvelous Markers and an Aqua painter. I cut out the truck with the dogs and mounted it over the top of the first truck, giving it a 3-D effect. The DSP I used is from the retired Summer Picnic set, so versatile! And the background of my card is stamped with Canvas using Sahara Sand ink. I like the simple and clean look of this card. I got the lay out idea from the catalog! A project that is not masculine and not even a card. I found it on page 71.
Tomorrow my daughter has a play date and us Mom's are going to do some stamping. The theme is masculine birthday cards. So, I thought I would modify this card and make it a birthday card. So, here is the card we will be making:
No cutting in this version, I did not think the dogs would go as well with the presents, too busy. Again I used the Summer Picnic DSP.
So, I can not wait to stamp tomorrow, I will share with you what we make, they are talented stampers, I am quite proud as they are my customers and friends!
Happy Stampin'
