Hi there, my crafty friends..Wish you all a very happy valentine day..may you have a love filled today and everyday .
Made this lovey dovey card for DH this valentine. This is my first attempt at an easel card, love it even more coz of the heart shape.
Hand cut the hearts and the pattern paper for the base of the card. The background is done using the melted crayon technique. Used some of my daughters old wax colors and votif candle. Its a super simple technique and has a therapeutic feeling with the lemon flavored candle! Sprinkled some glitter and applied a layer of mod podge. Again my first attempt at using it. Was not sure how it will look, love the result!!!
Embellished the card with some cutsy buttefflies (my recent shopping spree) and some lovely garden theme stickers. Gave an outline to the card with faber castle 3D glitter outliner.
Do lemme know how u liked it.
