Romance and friendship for Country View Crafts February challenge

 Hi everyone, I am here today with my first design team make to hopefully inspire you to join our February challenge. The theme this month is "Romance and friendship" You don't need a blog or an Instagram account, just head over to the group and join in with the fun! The link is Here and if you are not already a member just request to join and we will warmly welcome you. It is also be a place you can be the first to hear about workshops, the latest releases etc etc. We have a happy membership of over 370 crafters and we are growing every day. You can enter the challenges up to 5 times as you like as long as you use products from brands which are stocked on the Country View Website.

This is the card I made, a Valentine's day card.  I bought this sweet Andy Skinner stamp in the CVC advent sale. You can buy it here , it is such a cute image.


This is how my card came together.
I used the awesome Visible Image distressed brick stencil with these 2 distress inks. to make the background.



I stamped the robots onto a scrap of white card


I coloured with distress pencils and cut them out.
 


I stamped them again on the background, together with the sentiment.


I decoupaged it with the cut out image and also added a little distress pencil colouring to the background.  I also added some heart die cuts as finishing touches, 

Here is a close up


 And one final photo


Remember you can find me most days over on Instagram Here @jane.tyrrell where I share many, many more makes then I have the time to blog.
