It is time for the February House of Cards Challenge with the theme of LOVE. How perfect for the month of Valentines day. I hope you will join the challenge!
This stamp set is from Sparkle and Sprinkle and I thought it would be just adorable for the Love theme and for my husbands Valentines Day card. Easel cards are one of my favorites so first I made my base 11x 4 1/4 "(scored at 5 1/2 and 8 1/4"), and 5 1/4 by 4 1/4".
Next out came the Copics: Y000,G12&94 E13, R20&22, and then B000,12&1, for the water. For the water, first I laid down my blender pen, then the blues and used the blender pen after to get the soft water look. Then the free, yes free glitter Sparkle and Sprinkle sent with my stamps(Orchid Rose sparkles) on the hearts, red tinsel embossing powder on the word love (masked from a saying set I had). Washi tape works great for masking. Other supplies: Die cut: Spellbinders Scallop Circles, ribbon from Michaels, K&Co. paper.

Love this, Donna! Your water looks so real, and those kissing fish made me smile! Great job!
This is so cute, love those blowing kisses fish!
Donna, what a delightful use of this fab SnS set from the latest release. Loved reading how you did the sea background for these sweet fishies. This made into such a pretty & colorful Valentine card, and good tip about the washi masking. It's a very bright easel shape card and you just can't beat that SnS glitter either. Isn't it such fun to get the surprises when the stamps arrive? TFS & Happy Sunday.
Hi Donna! The fish are just adorable on this card! Have a great day.
