Love Come in Many Forms

Today's post has several  love-ly Valentines cards in different styles and colors combinations. (Did you know that there isn't any color that I dislike?!LOL) They are still my style, but I tried a few new techniques and embellishments. I also photographed them instead of scanning, not sure if I like it better that way , but we'll see.

The first is for lovely Linda at Studio L3 for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge week #30 Altered metal with paint. Pennants are so popular right now so I made this graphic "I LUV U " pennants with metal hearts and put it on a circus tent pink and white stripe ground. The second is for Gingersnaps Creation GC#87 Tea bag template. Tried some unusual colors this time with blue, maroon, olive and brown. Just love the teacup clip art. The final piece is sweet and feminine with a classic women's face. I made it very dimensional  and layered  it with pretty  ink kissed  flowers, lots of pretty ribbon and a stamped vintage background in  red. This card was for Reasonable Ribbon challenge RRR#17 Pink-red-white, Flourishes challenge FTTC103 Valentines and Shabby Tea Room  week 47 Get Creative with stamping and no patterned papers.

Hope you enjoyed my new experiments and creations....Artfully, yours Gerri
