Hello everyone… LOVE is in the air.. can you feel it now? Valentine’s day is getting closer… Today I am sharing another mixed media Valentine’s Day card with you all 🙂
On this card today I am using the Our Daily Bread January New Release stamp set and die sets and my new coloring medium – Color Burst set.
I have been having fun with the Caribbean set to create my background on this card. I sprinkle the warm color pallete on a piece of watercolor paper, and sprayed with some water. It is so much fun to see how the pigment powder react with the water. Then I added some splatter of Gold Paint from Finetec Gold Palette set and Black paint from Koi Watercolors Travel set.
When the background panel dried well, I die cut the center of the panel with the new ODBD Custom Tulip Heart Die, and die cut the panel again with the ODBD Custom Double Stitch Rectangle Dies, and then inlaid them back in. I added them on the card with strong adhesive.
I die cut the purple heart out of one of the ODBD Plum Pizzazz Paper Pad using ODBD Custom Layering Heart Dies. And I stamped the sentiment from the new ODBD February Pre-Order Bundle, Let Love Grow stamp set. I added the purple heart die cut on top of the Tulip Heart die cut.
I die cut the flowers and leaves using the ODBD Custom Bitty Blossom Dies out of Plum Pizzazz Paper Pad and Boho Bolds Paper Pad. I added them on the heart with glue dots.
I finished my CAS Mixed Media card with some clear gems. And using my finger I added some of the Seedless Preserve Distress Crayon on the edges of the card.
I hope you are inspired to create more Valentine’s Day cards to share the love! Thanks for visiting me today!

Hey Helen! I just got some Color Burst too, after seeing Ken Oliver himself at CHA. It was magical watching him play with the color. Haven’t had time to crack them open yet, but your card here is sure making me anxious to start experimenting. Such a wonderful background you made! Love it

This is very beautiful! We are so blessed for your participation in our last Challenge and would love for you to join us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with this Scripture inspiration from Colossians 2:6-7 which tells us, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Have a blessed week.
