Matchmakin' Maynard

Are you getting ready for Valentine's Day yet?  It's hard to believe that Christmas was just here and we're already on to Valentine's Day!  Today, I have to share this adorable little cupid dragon.  lol He is just so cute!  Meet Matchmakin' Maynard from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

I recently got some of the My Mind's Eye Quite Smitten paper and I am definitely smitten!  My Mind's Eye creates some of my favorite papers.  I chose some copic markers and colored my image in coordinating colors.  I used oval nestability dies to cut out my image and mat.  I sponged some ink around the edge of my image to help it stand out a little more.  I cut all my layers and added some stitching.

I added my image using foam adhesive for a little extra dimension.  I covered a chipboard heart with patterned paper and layered it over a second heart.  I used my crop-a-dile to punch two holes and tied some ribbon through the holes before adding it to my card.

I'm working on a tutorial for stamping the striped paper using Papertrey's Faux Ribbon.  I planed to post it this week, but with the release, I haven't had a chance so it will probably be posted next week.  Tomorrow, I have a field trip with my son's preschool class.  Well, I am off. 
Have a great day!
