The Greeting Farm - Be Mine

Hi everyone, Jo here. Can you believe it, we are already in the middle of January! Let's not waste any time, I have a Valentine's Day themed card ready for you today. A fun card combining the newly released Love Anya Digi Digi Set and the Be Mine Anya Digi Stamp.


All images are colored with Copic markers. I increased the size of the cupcake in the Love Anya Digi Set. The frosting is covered with Star Dust Stickles glitter glue and some teal heart sprinkles. Anya is adhered to the card, along with the cupcake, with dimensional foam adhesive.

The images lay atop a scalloped circle die cut and designer paper at the base of the card. Lastly, I tied a yellow grosgrain bow around the card front.
