Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Papertrey Ink Sr. Team Challenge of 2015. We are revisiting one of my most favorite stamp sets this month, Love Lives Here. I used the butterfly image from this set and stamped down the left side of my card using Sweet Blush, Autumn Rose, and Hibiscus Burst ink, using the stamping off technique in order to create a soft color palette. The inside heart window of each butterfly was filled with a stamped Spring Moss heart.
I then added a strip of Lavender Moon Stripe paper and my tag which was cut using the Tag Sale #1 die. My sentiment from Love Lives Here was stamped at the bottom of my tag using Autumn Rose. I then used the stitched heart from the Phone Case Details Die and created a stitched ombre heart to go along with my sentiment. I used the Sew Simple Borders stamp set down the right edge of my card....can't quite put this set down :).
I used Autumn Rose felt and the Bitty Button Stacks Die to create coordinating accents along with a strip of Fine Linen Saddle Stitch Ribbon to finish it off.
Looking forward to seeing what the other girls create with this sweet set:
Thank you for visiting!
Melissa
