Kate Hadfield is celebrating her 16th Anniversary of creating great digital products. To celebrate there is an Anniversary sale running from the 10th to 13th February with 25% off the whole store. This is the perfect opportunity to buy all those packs you have had in your wishlist.
In honour of Valentine's day Kate has created a fab set Lovey Dovey Toppers. This is available as pre-coloured Doodles and also digital stamps you can colour yourself.
As soon as I saw this set I knew I wanted to work with the little bear. I created a sign for him to hold and added a sentiment from Imagine That Digistamp.
The background has been created by adding the small heart overlay from Everyday Overlays onto a red background. I also added some tiny pink smiley hearts from the 3 hearts image from Lovey Dovey Toppers. I then added these randomly onto the overlay.
This whole image was then printed with a colour laser printer. I covered the card blank with a snakeskin effect black paper. I created a decoupage card by adding a second layer of the whole image popped up on foam squares. A 3rd layer was added with just the bear.
You can see this decoupage in more detail below.
I also decorated the inside of the card. The paper is a slightly marbled one from HOTP. The sentiment is a digital one, printed and coloured with a Promarker. I cut it with a scalloped edge die from CREAlies. The final touch was adding the 3 hearts with the smiley faces. I absolutely love them and so happy they are included.
Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
