Another Valentine's Card!

I do love Valentine's Day and all the fun cards one can make for nearly anyone! Who doesn't like getting a Valentine's Day Card?

This card happened by chance, yes it's a card, not a tag! I had colored in the background and looked at it for days wondering what to do with it. While surfing the web I saw a card using a flourish with a bird on it. The light went on and I borrowed the concept to create this card.

What you need:
Dream Weaver Stencils: LS94- Bird on Branch and LX7001 Damask background
Colorbox Chalk Inks
May Arts ribbon

I stenciled the damask background on white paper using Colorbox Gray Whale Chalk ink. Then I added the bird using Colorbox Berrylicious Chalk ink.

Layer the paper on red card stock. Wrap a length of ribbon along the front. Tie a bow and adhere to ribbon.

It is easy to tie a bow separately and attach it than trying to tie it with a length of ribbon around the paper.

Take a section of ribbon and your scissors. Tie the ribbon around the closed blades of the scissors, pulling the knot and bows tight. With another pair of scissors, trim the ends so they are not too long. Slide it off the scissors and adhere to the ribbon/card.
