Valentines Anything Goes

This week's Bitten by the Bug2 challenge is to create something on the Anything Goes for Valentines Day. I made an ATC card for a swap. My base is cardboard, as you need a thick, sturdy base, and covered with cherubs from Basic Grey paper that I hoard. As you may know, it is hard to find discontinued Basic Grey papers. Cutting into my paper hurts, but I have a lot left on that sheet!

I used vinyl because, especially with the delicate arrows, I was concerned that card stock paper wouldn't cut as well. And it was easy to use the transfer tape. After adhering the image onto the tape, I cut the tape into pieces, so I could place the image parts where I wanted them to go.

The couple is “couple4" from 563 - Sweet Love Couples from Svg Cuttable Designs. The set of images on this design are adorable silhouettes - and as of writing this blogpost - are free! I didn't use the I love you part because I wanted to use the “Love You More" with the arrows from cricut's Holidays through the Year Iron-on cartridge. This is a really cute, modern image.

Also, I used "Lovey Dovey Hearts" from Sweethearts. I just deleted the outline layers and some of the hearts - keeping only the pink ones. I would have added art more hearts, but I did not cut enough vinyl to fit, so I used what I had lol. Love combining cuts for my own design.
