Over at Cooking with Cricut we are continuing our DT challenge theme. The lovely designers, Kimberly, Dalis, and myself came up with today's challenge. Challenge #72 is Grown-up Valentine theme. The twist? Must incorporate the color black and use a brad!
After we all pooled our ideas together, I instantly thought of my HUSBAND!! After all it IS Valentines next Tuesday, and can one get any more inspired than to show the love of your life how much you love them?? Today's craft was all about my love for my best friend and husband.
I took a plain 8x10 frame that pops out from the front. Cheap yet kinda classy. I like the sleek black outline. I measured my paper to fit for the mat, then cut some rectangles out on my Cricut and "pieced" it together like I do my quilts (except NO sewing) I popped up the rectangles with the word "LOVE" on it so it would stand out. I LOVE how this came out!
To Make this I used:
Carts ~ Accent Essentials for the rectangles (sized on my Gypsy) and Gypsy Font for "Love"
Paper ~ DCWV and Mambi (LOVE the black and white)
Stamps ~ Misc. clear stamps for sentiments (picked up at a craft store)
Misc ~ Tulle for the flower and a brad to hold it together, foam dots for dimension, heart cut outs from card stock I hand cut.
I hope you enjoy this!
