Here is the image I was given to create with this week.  When I saw this, I immediately thought about making a Valentine's Day card.



Supplies:
Fitztown image Valentine #12
Photoshop
Sihouette Cameo
Recollections card stock
Celebrate It- Ribbon
Gel Pen

  1. Color the digi stamp (for this project, the image was colored using the Photoshop program).
  2. Create a heart shaped border for the digital stamp and the sentiment.  I used the Silhouette Cameo to design and cut out this border and to design and create the sentiment.  A shadow of the heart was also created using solid red card stock.
  3. Print and cut the heart shape with the image/sentiment and shadow using a cutting machine (for this project, the Silhouette Cameo was used). 
  4. Adhere patterned paper as a background to a blank white card.  You can use any size card and create the shapes to work for that size.
  5. Adhere the image and shadow to the patterned paper.
  6. Attach the ribbon to the patterned paper prior to attaching the patterned paper to the blank white card.
