I've been enjoying seeing all the peeks of the new collections and can't wait to get my happy little hands on them! But in the mean time I thought I'd have some fun with my stash at hand and make up some love cards! I have to say, Bo Bunny's Star-Crossed paper and embellishments collection has quickly become on of my favorite papers for cardmaking. I love that the elements work well for both masculine and feminine recipients.
I really love the neutral colors with the deep red in this collection. So for a base I used Bo Bunny's Vintage Decaf paper. I just love using these vintage cardstock papers as the base of my cards. First I cut out a heart from the cute red and white dot paper, then did a little fussy cutting from the feather paper in the 6x6 paper pad. I layered in some of the die-cuts from the coordinating Noteworthy pack, added a little hemp twine and some burlap and Presto! my quick little card is ready!

6x6 Paper Pad: Star-Crossed
Cardstock: Vintage Decaf
Noteworthy: Star-Crossed
Layered Chipboard: Star-Crossed

For my second card I used Almond Dot paper as my base. I thought I'd do a kind of loose mixed media style card for this one. Lots of stamping with Bo Bunny's Distressed Textures and It Is Written Stamps. I added some paint spatters and some Bo Bunny Washi tape for some vertical interest to the card design.
I again cut a heart out of the dot paper and added some sheer sparkle glue to give the heart some shimmer. I added a little hemp twine and some coordinating Layered Chipboard, and my 2nd card was complete.

Seriously love all the textures in your card!! My favorite new collections are Heritage and Sweet Life. My favorite piece of paper is from the Safari Collection and is called Safari Outback. I love the turquoise side

Both of your cards are just gorgeous (as always). And, Valentine's Day is just around the corner - so I need to get busy. Thanks for sharing your wonderful artwork!
Interesting take on using a "dream catcher" look...I love it! Thanks for this idea...perfect for Valentine's Day. Nice!
You really know how to make vintage look fabulous! These cards are gorgeous!
Beautiful cards, Gabi! I love the papers you used.
I love both cards!
Love them all!
These cards look wonderful.. I really love the book paper and love the feathers in the first one too..
These are just absorbing to look at. Lovely vintage feel.
Oh Wow these are both so cool, love the vintage feel and how you put them together, great use of the papers and washi tape!
Good evening Gabrielle,
I have just found you and I must say that you are amazing.
Your cards, scrapbook pages and videos are wonderful and I shall be giving altered art a go after watching these. I'm off to buy some canvases tomorrow and will try to make some wall art for my daughters wedding anniversary in July. I'm giving myself that long because I've a feeling it may take one or two attempts. Thanks from the UK for your inspiration, Maureen.
Super beautiful cards. They are mini pieces of art!
Incredible! Absolutely incredible! xx
Oh my, these are best Valentinesey cards I have seen a in long time. I am so drooling over all of them right now. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
