I don’t know about you, but whenever I see a silhouette—especially during Valentine season—my heart goes all pittery-pattery…
…so I had lots of fun with this one! Simple to make, but it really makes me happy.
A little bit of ribbon & some vintage “cherry” buttons finish it off—easy peasy!
If you visit me very often, you know that I’m always inspired by my wonderful Mother…
…and here she is, inspiring me again! While I was looking through a bunch of old family photos the other day, this sweet little school days photo just jumped out at me—young Karen with HEARTS on her adorable jumper…perfect!
So, a little card was made with Mom as the focal point—not sure if I’ll be able to part with it or not!
Wishing you a day filled with glittery Valentines, sweet flowers…and a heart all a-flutter.
Julie

Those are sooo pretty Julie!... I love the one with your mama in her little jumper with the hearts on it... I am sure it is hard to part with... but it seems to be meant just for her!... she will love it so!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new card Julie & I don't blame you if you can't part with it. I love how you used the buttons to tie it all together! DARLING! Your Momma must be so proud. HUGS!

absolutely perfect. Do you have a huge SUPPLY of ribbon, buttons and bangels around your place, or do you go out and find them, depending on what you are working on!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy, I have WAAAAY too much stuff in my craft room! The nice thing is, I usually have what I need whenever I need it {but I'm not very organized!}...it's a real pretty mess, though!
DeleteI love these elaborate cards, but I am just getting into card making and confused. Do you give these out? And if you do, how do you put them in an envelope? Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisette!
DeleteI do give them out (sometimes!)--I'll either just get a large mailing envelope if I'm sending it, or if I'm delivering it by hand {or with a package}, I just go without an envelope--nobody ever seems to mind!
Julie, My heart goes pitter patter whenever I visit and see your lovely art. These are both special! I love VSM! Elizabeth

For me, silhouettes and Valentines go together because in elementary school our classrooms were always decorated for the month of February with red hearts, white paper doilies and black silhouettes of Washington and Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteYour Valentine creations are just lovely.
