And we're done! This card got a distinctive touch with a silver filigree butterfly. I collect lost "single" earrings to use on my cards and have been saving this one for something special. I think I know just where this one is going.
Hope you've enjoyed this journey with me. Happy Valentine's Day!
Words aren't needed here, the little framed heart says it all. The doily scrap got a makeover with a bit of cheesecloth, bits of muslin and a silver brad center.
The die cut rose bouquet really grabs the eye and give the vintage vibe to this valentine. The small message stamps used in this series are from Rubber Soul, very sweet little touches.
Teal sequins frame this valentine. Its hard to see in the photograph but the frame contains a popped out square with the rub-on words "be true". Lots of color play here.
I never get tired of birds! This little guy in perched on a bit of vintage doily, nested in the wildflowers, reminding you that Jesus loves you. <3 font="">3>
This daisy trim just begged for a heart flower center! You see 3 points of red and the flower has a vintage button center, balancing the vintage trim, left and right.
"I don't worry about the wounds. When I go up there, which is my intention, the Big Judge will say to me, Where are your wounds? and if I say I haven't any, he will say, Was there nothing to fight for?" - Alan Paton, Ah, But Your Land is Beautiful
Love never fails. - Paul, the Apostle
God seems to be far less concerned with where I'm going than with who I'm becoming. - Mark Batterson
Living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado greatly influences me as a mixed media artist. For me, the Rockies are much more than granite and elk. The birds, the wildflowers, the smells and sounds cooperate and harmonize into something that soothes and settles the soul. Bring together the hard edges and the soft flutters, the dark shadows and the sparkling light, the strength of the bull elk and the delicacy of the lupine and you'll find the beautiful contrasts that move me.
