Hiya everyone, Lora here for the awesome folks at Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts
with a fun, fast project for a personalized Valentine's Day Card! I
love the macabre little twist on these, but you can put whatever spin on
it you want on them.
A view of the backs and the pithy little expressions of quirky Valentine love.
I love that instead of flowers, her/his true love chose poisonous mushrooms! SO romantic!
Here's how it went....
I
chose these great Heart Cards (which are coming soon!). Using the
solid 'back' side of the card as a template, I cut papers for the front
and back of the solid half of the card.
I painted the fancy, front side of the card with ivory acrylic paint and set them aside to dry.
I
then cut my collage images out and glued ruffle-y red ribbon to the
back of the image, letting the ruffle-y bit show on the front. i used
clips to keep the corner from popping up, giving the glue a chance to
set.
After
everything dried, I glued the fancy front of the cards to the
background papers and then glued the beribboned collage images in the
center of the cards. I did stick some heavy weight objects on them to
flatten them out whilst the glue dried as the ribbon tends to make them
pop off the card.
I glued other collage images on the back and
came up with some amusing little expressions of Valentine love which I
printed out, cut and glued on the back.
Lastly, I attached a
ribbon to each one for hanging using a rose medallion of scrap paper I
cut from the left over collage images used on the back.
Easy peasy and quite personal.
Ah, Valentine love........
