Day 3
"Love is the Strongest Magic"
"Be My Valentine"
cards by Leigh

 Happy Valentine's Day to you all❤️
Today I'm sharing 2 cards...the one I made for the hop plus the card I made for my hubby😉


My card for the hop is inspired by Beauty and the Beast🌹
With the use of rose imagery and a moody colour palette I've portrayed their tale that's as old as time and full of romance and magic🌹  I'm pleased with how it turned out and hope you like it too😉


To represent the glass jar the rose is kept in I used clear acetate for the front of my card and I kept the decoration restricted to just the left hand side as the dramatic interior of the card completes the story.


I decorated the acetate front with my Copic coloured and fussy cut Gothic Rose.


 The card front is also embellished with Recollections paper roses and die cut leaf flourishes by Cherry Lynn.


The inside is decorated with my new Raggedy Heart Strings Background which I coloured with Distress Oxide inks,  Nuance powder and silver gel pen.  The thorn swirl die cut is by Crafter's Companion and I mounted it onto another Nuance watercolour panel done in pale pinks which I then grunged up with clear Rocky Candy Distress Crackle Paint and black Antiquing Gel.  My "Love is the Strongest Magic" sentiment is cut out with a Docrafts leaf die and coloured with Copics to match my Gothic Rose
 
 
This is the Valentine card I gave my hubby today😉   I used my new Raggedy Heart Strings and Raggedy Heart Strings Background plus square and rectangle "torn paper dies" by Crafter's Companion to cut the panels.  The background panel is coloured with Distress Oxides and the focal image watercoloured with Nuance pigment powders and gold gel pen.  Both panels were edged with Black Soot Distress Ink and mounted on black cardstock edged with Galaxy Gold Brilliance Ink and then mounted onto a red folded card.

 
Designs from my new 2019 Valentine Collection as well as the 2018 collection are being featured this month and both collections are on sale for the duration of the hop so I hope you'll see some must haves to play with😉  I also have a "My Dark Valentine" sentiment FREEBIE for you too, grab it HERE!
