Honey Bee Valentine

    
Here is a fun and fast Valentine card. The stamp is from a fun Valentine stamp set over at Raisin Boat called Wild about your Honey! I simply stamped the heart shaped bee hive with Grey Flannel ink by Momento and the bee's,colored them with Copic markers. I die cut it with a spellbinders circle die and then die cut a grey mat to go under it.I punched the border from the same grey paper with a Fiskars border punch.I embossed the pretty pink paper with the fun x and o embossing folder by Sizzix.( My new favorite) I put it all together on the card and then stamped Happy Valentines Day on the bottom right corner and I was done.I hope you like the pink and grey together it was a bit out side of my box but I am loving it now.
     Have a great day and find some time to play with your Valentine stamps.

Moxie Fab backgrond challenge Kitty Valentine

   
  I had fun playing with some new color combo's for me for a Valentine card. I played with pink and brown and I like it. I stamped the background with a small heart stamp from Raisin Boats stamp set Playing Cupid I stamped it diagonally on the paper starting in the middle and working my way out on each side. I find this helps to keep it even yet look random.I sponged the edge with the brown Momento ink,I embossed the brown paper with a fun embossing folder by sizzix and then cut it and used a corner rounder , I cut a pink mat a bit bigger and then also used the corner rounder on it. I edged the pink with a sponge and brown ink also.I also cut a stripe of pink and sponged the edge of it with brown ink and then added a fun pink gingham ribbon I added this to the middle of the card and then the mats. I stamped a cute little cat from Raisin Boats stamp set Wild about Ewe Honey. I colored it with copic markers, I cut it out and then attached it to the mats with foam tape.
   I hope you find some time to play with your stamps to make your own background for the challenge over at Moxi Fab.
    Keep warm!
