Limelight Six Chicks Project Parade

Today is the sixth of Feb. and us chicks have been busy preparing our monthly project for you. This month we decided to share a little love with you and show you some Valentine gift ideas for a friend, with a coordinating card. I knew right away which stamp I want to work with, Love & Meaning. It's been on my desk since I received it last week and I can't stop using it. The sentiment from this stamp is just perfect and it really speaks to me. You know from my post yesterday that I have been trying hard to use what I have. I have quite a few of these clear polka dot frames I bought over a year ago that I have never used. I also have a friend, my BFF from college, who is finally getting married. She rekindled her college romance after 10 years and they will be married over Labor Day weekend next September. I wanted to send her a little something to show how happy I am for her. I created this pretty little magnet for her fridge by simply adding a magnetic strip to the back of the polka dot frame. I used the October Afternoon dp and the Love & Meaning stamps set to put it all together. It still needed a little something so I added a prima, stamped the word Love from the sentiment and punched it out with a 1 inch circle punch to create the center of the flower and topped it off with a Clear Droplet. Here is the card that coordinates with the magnetic frame. I pulled out my Scallop circle Bigz die to create the base for this card and cut another circle to fit inside the scallop with my colluzzle. I stamped the flower images three times-once on my white circle card base, and two more times on pattern paper, my new favorite, October Afternoon. This pattern is called Dirt Roads from the Detours line. I then pieced together different patterns for the hearts and circles. Ther rest was colored with my copics. I highlighted a few of the words. I finished the card off with some crystal effects to give it some dimension. Almost all of the products used you can find at Limelight papercrafts. Mandy added a Clearance section to the store, so be sure to check that out. Now I'm off to see what the other DT members created for this challenge. Hop along with me!
