Sneak Peeks - Love You

Today is the 2nd day of Sneak Peeks with Flourishes.  I really love this sentiment set today, it's called Tag Lines.  For one it has wonderful font, and it has so many sentiments I would use regularly.  Ones I NEED :)  And the best part of all, this set was designed specifically to fit into Spellbinders Fancy Tags, there's not much than can make a cardmaker happier than to see things fit together.  Of course they'll work in many other applications, but I really love my Fancy Tags, they add such class to any card. 

We often say that to each other or our kids, a quick "Love You".  When we say goodbye, when we say hello, just for the sake of saying Love You :)  I don't care how old you are, you can never get tired of being told you are loved. 

I think I'll give this Valentine to our daughter because it's bright and cheery.  On this card I actually used my Ribbon Tag Trio Two  because I wanted a little extra stamping space.  I stamped the butterflies from the Gerber Daisy set alongside the sentiment.  Underneath the sentiment is a Lattice Pendant cut in half. 

I also overstamped the sentiment on the patterned paper accenting this with some pretty Kaiser Pearls. 

I also added some dry embossing on the patterned paper as you can see above. 

My mom asked me to make a card for my Uncle, he'll be celebrating his 75th Birthday in a few weeks and we're going to a surprise party for him, which is always fun.

I went back to one of my favourite Flourishes sets, Home Tweet Home.  I watercolored the branches and leaves, and the bird separately, and cut out and popped up the bird.  I wanted to give it all a masculine feel.  Nothing too frou frou (cause my Uncle is definitely not frou frou, lol!).  I picked the color palette from these 7 Gypsies papers, Nottinghill and Savannah.  Doesn't the sentiment look perfect in this die?  It's a combination of two separate words put together, that way you can do Happy Anniversary, etc. 

I washed in a soft sky in the background too, you can see it a little above.  I think he'll like it. 

Well, these wonder women on the Design Team have lots more for you to be inspired by today:  Cindy Lawrence, Julie Koerber, Latisha Yoast, Leslie Miller, Stacy Morgan
