Hi Stampers!
“Love is in the Air” with Valentine’s Day
approaching and I thought I would take the time to create at least one
Valentine’s Day card (although this may be a bit feminine for my husband).
I decided to use the Friday Mashup FM42colors (I love the colors that Rita chose but I have not mastered paper piercing yet to "Mash It Up" :-) along with the great FMS18 Freshly Made Sketch from Linda. Both sites
have terrific designers and the samples are just gorgeous! If you have the time, check them out!
Using Versamark™ ink, stamp the floral
image and the sentiment from Creative Elements onto Blushing Bride and Riding
Hood Red cardstock. Heat emboss using
Stampin’ Emboss® Brown Embossing Powder (retired from SU! years ago- I need to
use all of these colors up since I just read that embossing powder does have a
shelf life).
Once cooled, carefully cut out the flowers
and mount onto a panel of Blushing Bride that has been stamped with the scroll
image from Creative Elements (I just love this stamp set!).
Use the Big Shot™ with the Elegant Lines
Textured Impressions™ Folder and emboss a piece of Early Espresso
Cardstock (I love embossed Early Espresso cardstock- it looks like dark chocolate:-)).
Assemble the card according to the sketch
and add the pearls to finish.
