HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETINGS WITH LOVE

Hi, There!

First card for 2018!!  This is a Stamping Bella image called Lulu Loves Poppies but I am not sure if it is still available as this is an older image.  I just had to color her up as I was craving something with flowers!!!

More snow coming our way and it was 7 degrees this morning!!!  BRRRRRR!

I have a new die from Precious Marieke/Rustic Nesting Frames and thought it framed Lulu nicely.  I used Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink around the edges and cut a few more contrasting dies to use behind the image.  The image is popped up with foam tape.  

Using the papers from Tim Holtz Idea-ology, I formed the card base and I cut apart some postcards to make letters on the side.  Used a heart die from Verve for the surrounding hearts.

The button sentiment is a chipboard from BoBunny that I received as a freebie from Scrapbook.com.  The ribbon is from my stash and I tried to make a wax seal at the bottom - not sure if that is what I succeeded in displaying;)  You know - sealed with a kiss - not that it is lips but just a seal!!! lol

I would like to think that Miss Lulu just received a bunch of Poppies with her love letters;) 

Thanks for stopping by and sending you much love, hugs, and blessings for the new year ~ CaroleAnn

  1. Oh wow! That new frame die set is gorgeous. Love your coloring on Miss Lulu. We've been complaining about being in the 20's down here and there you are at 7. Can't help it though. Us coasties are NOT used to those kinds of temps at all. Happy new year my dear friend!
