Love Dreams

I am definitely loving making Valentine's Day cards. Such dreamy romance! This time I went for the Victorian style. As I continue to experiment with collage cards, I have been drawn to those made with printed collage pieces such as the ones on this card. I discovered a wonderful digital source for these images called Digital Collage Sheets. A couple of great aspects about this vendor are that once you pay on line, you receive an email with the PDF file attached - no waiting and no shipping & handling! The images are clean and clear. You can print them out on your home printer set for the highest print quality and they come out great!

This card was so much fun to make but it took me many hours. I have been working on it off and on for four days. All of the edges were distressed with scissors and sponged with Creamy Caramel. Both inside panels were finished with multiple layering and stitching plus the back panel was stamped. The envelope was hand-made and is also very embellished.

Now for the card recipe. After four days and all the different products I used on this card, I hope I can remember them all.
