Loved Beyond Measure

 Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a fabulous week!    This week on the Stamp Simply blog, we are starting to share Valentine’s Day cards along with Easter and other cards of encouragement.

I wanted to create a Galentine card using the Farmhouse Simple Sentiments along with the new Echo Park Love Notes 6x6 paper pad and a few other supplies from Stamp Simply (since my hubby passed away, I do not create traditional Valentines but thought this sentiment was better for a Galentine). 

This was an easy card to create:

Trim the background papers from the Love Notes 6x6 paper pad, mount onto black cardstock and then adhere to a white card base.

Die cut the flower from red cardstock using the flower dies from the Cinch & Go flowers dies, manipulate the cardstock to create the pointed petals. Layer the flower petals to create the flower.

De-static a piece of black cardstock using an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the Farmhouse Simple Sentiments stamp set with Versamark ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

The center panel is one of the cut a-parts and mounted with dimensional foam.  Adhere the sentiment layer directly over the main image. 

Add the felt leaves from the May Arts Vintage Sampler Shabby Rosettes with Leaves before adding the die cut flower.

Adhere the strip of lace with pearls and large pearl in the flower center to finish off the card.

If you have not had a chance to check out the Design Team cards on the Stamp Simply blog, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from my all!!
