Valentine's Day Projects:
For Mr Crafty Blogger's valentines card I decided to get my camera out and do a photocard.
The first challenge was where to find Love Hearts sweets following the demise of our beloved Woolworths. Fortunately Wilkinsons have stepped into the breach and I was able to get a few packets to set up my photo shoot:
About 500 photos later I managed to get this picture:
I cropped the picture down and printed it onto canvas paper (Aldi special buy a few weeks ago) to produce the final card:
The photo was post processed using Coffee Shop's Butterscotch vintage action followed by a bit of my own tweaking. If you use Photoshop Elements (as I do), you really need to visit Rita at the Coffee Shop blog, as her actions are FREE and they all work in PSE!!!!
Mr Crafty Blogger did not fully escape my paper crafting. I filled a Kilner jar with is favourite chocolates and made a little tag.
Ingredients: Cuttlebug and Quickutz dies, scrap paper and cardboard, Papermania stamp, ribbons and button from stash.
Mountain Rescuer's Birthday Card:
If in doubt with a man's birthday card, go back to the old faithful Sizzix doll dies!
