STAMPlorations February CASEplorations

Hey there, CASEplorations fans!  It's February 1st and that means we are CASEing a new card artist! Hard to believe that its February already.  My son turns 8 on the 10th!  Where does the time go?  Anyway, this month we have another amazing card maker to CASE.  It's Anita in France of My Papercraft World.  We are CASEing such a great card and an appropriate one with Valentine's Day coming up soon. Check it out....


Awesome, isn't it?  I really love those hearts along the edge of the card and the colours she used.  Now here's my CASE....

(All stamps by STAMPlorations)

I stamped my heart balloons (Balloons and Banners set) and coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I stamped a couple more balloons coloured them and fussy cut them out. I popped them up with foam dots on just the red balloons. I stamped the sentiment (Fond Expressions 2 set) in black.  I added a bit of highlights to the balloons with a white gel pen.  I really love how this card turned out. Thanks, Anita, for inspiring me!

I hope you'll pop on over to the blog and see what the other DT ladies have come up with too.  Outstanding projects, once again!

Have a fabulous day and thanks for dropping by!
