Sometimes when you start playing with the parts and pieces of the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit you just can’t stop. I ended up with a lot of alternate ideas for the January 2019 kit – Be Mine Valentine. As you know I like to pair up the kits with the Note Cards & Envelopes because it makes a quick card. Here is another one that I created for this month.
What you might notice on this card is the background. Now where did that come from? It’s easy and you have the supplies that you need right in your monthly Paper Pumpkin box. It is the blue tissue paper! I just crumpled it up and dipped it in my ink pad and then tapped it on my note card. Keep repeating until you get the amount of color that you want. I used Pool Party ink on this card.
The other things that I added for this card is the Memento Black ink and then a couple of my Stampin’ Blends markers to color the bird. The scalloped circle, the heart, the kangaroo, and the stamps are all from the kit. Let me know if you try this background technique – I’d love to see what you do with it. You can see how I did it by watching my Facebook Live video of alternate ideas from the January Be Mine Valentine kit click ==> HERE. You can see this project along with my other alternate idea projects.
