Valentine's Day Card - Part Three - Finished!
My Valentine's day card is finished. I am really happy with the result. I wouldn't hesitate to stitch fabric onto paper in the future. If you want to see my progress posts on this project - they are here { Part One - Part Two }
Since my last post on this project, I cut two pieces of black paper, one for each side of the inside of the card. I wanted to make sure to cover up the underside of my stitching.
Then I glued these to the inside of the card. I used Elmer's Craft Bond rubber cement. It worked super and it didn't pucker the paper!
Next, I cut two pieces of white paper to layer onto the black paper. I am sure seeing those scallop edge scissors, you know what is coming next!
I scallop cut the edges of the white papers and glued them to the black pieces:
Here is what they look like all glued in place. Ready for me to write my message:
I like the strong contrast of the black and white both on the inside and the cover:
Now it is all finished and ready to go!
A very unusual and striking design for some lucky person. I like the additional black heart too!
