An Inspired Valentine

Hi there!

I hope you're having a good day! We had snow and ice overnight, so all four of my kids were off school today. They have had friends in the house for most of the day (I counted nine children at one point), but right now they've all gone somewhere else to play and the house is quiet!! Aaaaahhhh.....

So, now I can show you the Valentine card I made today. I really like it! Since it's so monochromatic, I made sure I added interest by using a lot of texture and dimension. I used the SU! background stamp Tres Chic to stamp on the BasicGrey Two Scoops paper with White Craft ink. Then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and punched out the hearts with a Marvy Mega Heart punch. I mounted the first heart directly to the Cuttlebugged panel (SU! Kraft), then I attached the second heart over it with dimensionals to separate them and add more dimension. I zig zag stitched around the Two Scoops cupid patterned paper, and I used the same paper to punch out a photo corner. I tied some SU! Kraft taffeta ribbon through a Two Scoops button, then I placed it over the photo corner. The sentiment is stamped in Ruby Red on Whisper White cardstock. I added brads to the ovals and mounted them on dimensionals. I sponged around the Kraft panel with White Craft ink, and I sponged around the small oval with Pretty in Pink.

Now, here is the inspiration for my Valentine card. I received this gorgeous Valentine from Pat Swift yesterday!! I just love the colors and the hearts! It was such a sweet surprise -- thank you SO much, Pat! :)

That's all for today -- I'll be back with more Valentine fun tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by today -- have a great day! :)
