Welcome to the May Arts & CardMaker Magazine Hop! I thought I'd get a start on some Valentines- and wanted to try to keep them pretty mail friendly!
I've started with a white card base, stamping in silver ink with The Craft's Meow set Holiday Foundations (designed by Royal Ribbonista Karen Baker!)
I used a spellbinder Lacey Circles die to cut the 'love' element. The 'love' stamp is from Hero Arts 'xo' set.
Even though there are a lot of layers of ribbon, this is pretty flat- possibly standard postage flat! Woohoo!
Ribbons Used
silver & white 1.5" natural burlap
burgundy 5/8" satin pleats
white 1/8" silk
Here is the list of participants in the hop!
