Show & Tell - Toadily in Love Valentine

After posting the card yesterday I realized I didn’t like it so much. Here is the Valentine Vlad got from me today. I love it and he loves it too.

Toadily fun to make! I started with a piece of 8×8 cardstock and some scraps that were laying around on my desk. I had the cardstock out for a scrap page layout I was thinking about. All the paper scraps were leftovers from recent projects. I was flipping through some vintage images and found this {Toadily in Love} image…perfect! I started my design from there with my messy scraps scattered about. I should have taken a picture of my work space its embarrassingly messy. The cardboard behind the image is straight from my recycling can. The ribbon scrap should have been in the garbage being this small. It wound up being the perfect size for this. I stamped the letters on with jet black StazOn. The tiny butterfly I made with my Fiskars pop-up punch. The polk-a-dot tab is from My Minds Eye and I stapled that onto the cardboard. For the scallop window treatment, that is a piece of scalloped cardstock and I added the patterned paper and inked the edge with Versa Color, bamboo. This was adhered with 1/8 inch thick foam pop-up squares.
