Tuesday with Val and a Happpy Card

Hi everyone!

Today's project features the fun letters of the Altered Hello stamp.  Bright background papers and an oversized flower seemed to complement this stamp perfectly.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the card pieces and fabulous flower from the infamous scrap pile :)

Tuesday with Val and a Shaped Card

Today I would like to share 3 techniques!

1. Shaped card: First, I stamped the chair on polka dot paper and pasted it to my card front.  I then cut through all layers (chair, card front, and card back) to create a shaped card.
2. Paper piecing: Next, I stamped the chair on a baroque paper, cut out the arm covers and chair skirt and pasted them over the polka dot paper.
3. Altered stamp: Finally, I inked the edges and face of the spotted monster (avoiding the dots in the centre) and drew in little hearts instead of spots just for Valentine's Day!

Thanks so much for dropping by!
Val :)
