I fell in love with this Vintage Valentine Clown Children from the Graphics Fairy. I printed it on Epson Presentation paper. Don't know why but the when you use this paper the colors when printed are great. A regular card stock paper looks washed out.
I chose to bring out the blue of the background by using MFT's Berrylious paper. Love the combination of the light blue with the red.
I used the smallest stitching lines dies to cut my stitching holes on the heart. I wasn't sure I would use these dies but I think they may have a permanent place on my desk. A great basic.

This is such a beautiful vintage card...love the tip about the Epson paper...love the little stitches on the heart and arrow and the heart die cut behind the photo was very smart. This is one of my favorites of yours Rhonda...ohh..just noticed the staples too! Great card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! Love the sweet vintage digi! And aren't their shoes cute. I wondered about the stitching dies and like you wasn't sure about how much I would use them. Glad to hear they worked to attach your little heart.
