Today is the Elle's Studio February release post, so I get to share all of the cards I made this time with the Feb. kit, Feb. wood veneer: "Key To My Heart" and the Always + Forever limited edition stamp set...
Inspired by the adorable and colorful heart die cut strip, I painted my card background with watercolors on the "Heartfelt Thanks" card to kind of match the colors in the die cut. I think it really softens the sharp corners of the die cut and adds an artsy, soft feel. The "heartfelt thanks" is from the Mat Stack 3 Collection stamps by Papertrey Ink. I thought it went perfectly with the hearts!
"Hold Tight to This Moment" card: Here I've used one of my favorite cards from the Feb. kit and added a popped up die cut over the top, a wood veneer from the "Key To My Heart" set, then I used the stamps to create a vellum stamped/embossed banner to go with it.
Really felt like the colors were so great on this card that I didn't want much over the top to cover it up! Just simple and colorful.
Next, I liked the "I'm here for you" die cut from the kit, so I found a paper from the Sycamore Lane line by Elle's and trimmed it down for my background. I also punched some butterflies from the papers to add over the top.
Love all of the color on this one! Yet the touch of black is much needed. Adds a little bit of contrast.
Next the Always card...I used one of the die cuts over a background cut out with Cover Plate: Hearts by Papertrey Ink. I wanted to add it over white cardstock, so that it didn't take away from the colorful hearts on top.
The Always + Forever stamps were added last for a sentiment, and I punched two tiny holes at the top to slide in a pin.
Last are more die cuts from the Feb. kit. The dots were dry embossed in the background with a Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug, and a die cut "thanks" was made with the new Swoosh die by Papertrey Ink coming out this month on the 15th.
