For my first card, I created a slimline card measuring 8-1/2″ wide X 3-1/2″ tall. The width of this card allows me to connect all these flying pink heart banners behind this super fun airplane. To make this card, I used Distressed Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass and blended the colors from dark to light, bottom to top, for the background. Once dry, I stenciled on hearts in a diagonal direction using Distressed Oxide Ink in Worn Lipstick ink and the Hearts stencil. I had some scrap gingham pattern paper sitting around so I added a 1/2″ strip at the bottom of the card front and then stitched it in place using my sewing machine. The background is done!

I stamped and colored the airplane, three birds and the dog duo to ride in the plane on 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I fussy cut the images and attached them to the front. I used Scrapbook Adhesives White Foam Squares to attach the airplane to make it stand out a bit. I used a fine-tip black marker to draw strings from the back of the plane.

I attached pink punched out hearts to the drawn lines to make it look like the heart banners are flying off the back of the airplane. I used R29, R24, and R20 to shade around the edges of the hearts. Three birds were added to the plane and sky. I added one heart in the bird’s beak, too. Lastly, I stamped the phrase, “Love is in the Air” on the card front.

Love You To Bits Card

Here’s a super quick card if you don’t like all the fuss of coloring. For my second card, I added the same colors of blue to the background of a 5″ X 7″ card and then stenciled on some hearts in the lower half section using Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries Distressed Oxide Ink. I added some shadowing to to the right of each one using a Copic Sketch Marker in B00 for dimension.  I kept the top half of the card front white and clean.

I stamped the phrase, “Love you to bits” from the set, Love You and then stamped the cute bunnies with hearts above them from the set, Love is in the Air. Simple coloring (E53, E50, E71, E70, and R20 colors used)  and sequin bits glued on the top of the front,  half finishes this sweet card.
