Penny Black - Little Mimi's Valentine

Hello everyone, Bonjour!


I can't believe it's already January 19th and I haven't blogged once in the New Year yet! Well the month is not over, so Happy New Year everyone! Bonne Année!
I have been making lots of cards for classes.
Here is one of them: new Penny Back Litlle Mimi for Valentine.


I am entering this in the car while waiting for Jim's flight to arrive, so I don't have any supplies list with me, but I have some photos.


The first card I made is an easel card. Here is a view of the card closed:







And here is the easel open...




The stamps are all by Penny Black.


Little Mimi with cupcake:
Dots (embossed with clear embossing powder - top left and bottom right):
be my Valentine:
Love, love, love (inside card - holding up the easel part of the card):


The Heart punch is Martha Stewart and the image was cut and layered with Nestabilities.


There is a lot of glitter and bling and a little bit of glaze on the cherry.


I am giving this class at Bonnidée if you are interested- there are 2 other cards that I'll show you also!


Forgot to mention that i'm entering this card in the Penny Black Allsorts January challenge here: "http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.com/2011/01/january-challenge.html"

Thanks for visiting my blog! Merci de votre visite!

Hi Louise

What a beautiful card.

Lovely image and with so many gorgeous elements alongside it.

Love the finishing touch the embossing brings and the scrummy ribbon.
