Love Is In The Air























Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Ellie's turn to host and she would like to see 'Love Is In The Air'

So I've just been waiting to use this stamp set I got free with my Creative Stamping magazine, they are by Sheena Douglass and are fabulous.  I made the background with several of the stamps, I started with a plain white piece of card, using Memento London Fog ink I stamped a combination of the stamps then heat embossed them.  I then took some Worn Lipstick distress inks and inked the card up.  I coloured the flowers with Spectrum Noirs to add a bit of a contrast colour.  I die cut hearts and used another of the stamps in the heart and added Mum & Dad.  I finished off with some Glamour dust just for a bit of sparkle.
