Valentine any color

here I did a 1-1 swap that was to use any color for valentine. wasn't suppose to use pink,red or black. here was a chance to use colors that one would not even think of. :) I used the big and small scallop punch from stampin up and I punched out 2 hearts and crumpled them in my hand to get the wrinkle look. on the big scallop i also stamp a background using hearts.I also used the large oval after i stamped the verse and then punched it out.love doing this swap very much as i got to use colors that was way different.

Heart Resist

here is another esister

ok lets try this again. lol. this is another resist done with the white crayon and stamps by stampin up. I also used eyelets and ribbon. the 2 different cards done with white crayon for the resist is my first try. not bad for me.

Dazzling Winter

this stamp is from stampendous and the emboosing folder from stampin up. I ualso used staz-on ink for the image. I then used mono glue which i bought from stampin up also and put some on the snowflakes in certain spots and also down at the snowmen. for me simple.
