Pink Persimmon

Birthday Card by Wanda

This card was made by the talented Wanda Guess.  You can find her over at her blog:  "A Blog Called Wanda".  She is the truly the Queen of Copics, recently joining the design team for icopic.com.  I had the pleasure of taking a copic class from Wanda, and her design skill is amazing.  She shows a complete tutorial here on how she made this card.

I love how she used the banner stamp patterns for the background.  She usually shares the actual copic colors that she uses on most of her projects, giving you a great guide for color combinations.

The Love Dove

Do all Valentine's Day cards need a heart design?  I think this little Love Dove sends the perfect Valentine message.

I used white embossing powder for the outline of the Love Dove and mounted it on the card with pop dots. 

Instead of a button, I used the flower image from the Love Dove stamp set to finish the bow on the ribbon. 

Happy Valentine's Day and ....

 

Valentine's Card by Melisa

Melisa Waldorf has been playing with her Pink Persimmon stamps and just posted this beauty on her blog:

Visit her blog for fun Valentine Inspiration.  And if you like to submit your cards or layouts to the magazines for publication, Melisa keeps track of several of the latest pub calls on her blog.  Super helpful to have one place to go for the current project calls.
