Bubble Wrap For My Valentine!

Are you sick of Valentine's cards already?  Not me! I thoroughly enjoy making cards and things for my loved ones. No card is better than a handmade with love card! I started designing this card around Our Creative Corner's Sketch Challenge "hip to be square", and then I took a gander at  Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stamper, where she had a "bubbles" challenge. I had no bubble stamps or images that I could  think off, and the doily lace I chose to use on the card was perfect for four large bubbley, circley things. So being one in the morning and ready to give up, I decided to walk away and go to sleep, but a funny thing happened on the way to the bedroom. I stepped on a package of glass hearts (ironic...and phew, none broke) wrapped in B-U-B-B-L-E wrap. Epiphany!!!

I sanded the dots on the paper and distressed and inked the sides, then folded it in half.  I trimmed the doily in a square shape, and stamped the letter image stamp on it in Pumice Stone.

The bubble wrap was cut into four circles and Pitch Black Alcohol Ink was applied.

I adhered the doily and bubble wrap to the card. I inked the heart with Brick Red Distress Ink, and stamped dots (Snow Cap Paint) and letter image (Black Soot Ink) on it. I applied Crackle Accents to the black portions.

The before and after.

The wings and crown were painted with paint dabber and crackled with Rock Candy, and inked with Pumice Stone. The numbers are coated with Crackle Accents.
