I think it’s fairly obvious that I was inspired by the roses and that’s because I thought they were so beautiful.  I made my panel easily, but then it took me literally FOREVER (ie over a week) to decide what to do with it from there, so finally I made myself ‘make a decision’ and in came the gold and black, phew.

Seriously this three day hop has been so wonderful, how can you not be inspired!  If you arrived here from Laura Bassen’s blog (Love!) then you are in exactly the right place (if not, then you best start here at the Altenew blog so that you don’t miss out on anything).

**********************

For my first card I chose to use the Beautiful Day stamp set and these flowers make me sooo happy….   swoon, honestly one of my most fave flower sets ever, thank you Altenew!  I added an embossed sentiment from the Sohcahtoa set, which is another ‘well loved’ set for me.  I actually made this card for the hop and then thought I might as well make it again and film as I created so that you could watch the process.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

And I couldn’t stop at one card so I decided to use one of the new mini stamp sets.  This is the Peach Tree and it has all the wonderful layered stamp goodness of Altenew.  I kept it fairly CAS and Prismacolor penciled in some backgrounds to create a masculine design.

Love on Valentines Day!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

I don’t know what I was thinking, I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue roses before but I thought they would look pretty and so not the usual ‘red and pink’ regular Valentine’s theme.  I was lucky to have this card published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and thought I would share it today…    so, Happy Valentines Day to you ALL!

Sadly this is my last post as part of The Alley Way Stamps Youtube Specialist team, and I gotta say that it really has been a blast.  This has been truly one of the most social, fun and organized teams, and I know that I will miss them all.  So today I  thought I would share a card to send my love to the team (especially to Ali and Chrissie) and beware, I will totally be blog stalking.

It’s been so long since I’ve used ribbon that I’d forgotten how nice it can look and I especially like it with this gorgeous bride from Penny Black.  This is  a card that I was lucky to have published by The Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for a ‘ribbon’ feature.

As soon as I saw this set at TAWS I knew just what I wanted to do, create my own word background, although there was a little moment of debate where I did consider using a colour instead of the black…  but in my mind’s eye it was black, so it stayed that!

I’m pretty sure this one started with the rosettes and it just all got a bit modern from there.  I’m not sold on the blending in the background, but it’s there now and I don’t detest it (otherwise it would have been for the bin lol), but I do adore the colour of the Platinum Stickles!

So I wanted the ‘pencily’ look and now I’m not so sure…  what do you think,maybe my usual bold and bright might have been better?  I had fun though and it doesn’t hurt to stretch those creative urges, I have enough stuff here to stretch them for years…  but apparently I still ‘need’ more, just ask my friend Paypal, good bloke that one, I don’t even have to leave my seat (go figure).  Now to business….
