"Happiness is being married to your best friend"--what a nice sentiment for an anniversary card! On the card I've used a center from JustRite Stampers, the 1-5/8" Loving Thoughts centers, paired with one of the November Releases, 2" Square Decorative Frames, and a 2" Square Wood Stamper. One of the really neat things about the new set is that it coordinates with both the 2" Round and Square borders--versatility.
The coordinating heart tin is one of the small heart tins from PaperTrey Ink. The tag on the heart tin is from another new 1-5/8" center, Romantic Sentiments. Since the tin was so small, I opted to use just a center with no border. That little paper rose on top was an experiment with trying to create the paper or cloth flowers shown on this post by special Guest Blogger Tia Bennett on the Creating Keepsakes Blog. (Thanks, Tia!)
Shown here is a picture of the Loving Thoughts set paired with the 2" Square Decorative Frames, though if you enlarge it and see the light gray lines, you can see how it would also fit with the 2" Round borders. Below it is the new Romantic Sentiments set, pictured with the already released 2" Round Wide Borders.
The images were stamped in both PaperTrey Ink Terra Cotta Tile ink and True Black ink on their Rustic White cardstock (hence the flecks). Rhinestones are Hero Arts Gemstones. Cardstock is PaperTrey's Smokey Shadow, and patterned papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Everafter line (Something New and Something Blue). Finished size of my card is 4-1/4" square. I used Spellbinders Square Nestabilties to cut my center and border.
Finally, in case you have it bookmarked, the JustRite Stampers Blog has moved from Blogspot to Typepad. Here is its new address. The Romantic Thoughts and Loving Thoughts sets will be available for purchase in January, in plenty of time for Valentines applications. Thanks for visiting!
