Peace, Love, Joy

Welcome back OCS fans.

For today's card, I have gone a bit outside of my comfort zone. I did a variation of a Panel Pull-Out Card (by Dawn Olchefske) that I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  Instead of doing five panels, I did three so that the image would fit nicely in the middle of a panel.  I also attached the panel to a card base instead of a single sheet of cardstock.

The center panel is white cardstock that was cut to be 5" x 11 1/4" and scored at approximately 3 3/4" from either end.  I also finished the inside of the card, which I usually don't do.

Love Never Fails

I am happy to have one more card to share this month using a super cute image from the new Live, Love, Laugh release at High Hopes. 
Sometimes a month isn't enough time to play with all the fun new images in a new release! 


Today's card introduces you to "Kovu & Fred" and the "Love Never Fails" sentiment. This image and sentiment are perfect not only for Valentine's Day but for a card for a friend or a spring theme - so many options..so little time <smile>

I coloured my stamp with alcohol markers then cut it out using a stitched oval die. Some pale blue clouds were added using a cloud die cut and some ink. The sentiment was stamped and cut out using a stitched square die. Some pink hearts, twine and my favourite - gumdrops - were added to finish off my card.
