Background was stamped with a faded script rubber stamp and distress ink. Little hearts were stamped and heat embossed with clear ZING! embossing powders.
And yet... another Valentine card.
The big red heart is a die cut that I completely heat embossed. First time every trying this technique. I just covered the surface of the heart with Versa Mark ink and then heat embossed the red embossing powder. I love the texture it created. The little heart is embossed as well. I stamped the polka dot background with some Tim Holtz distress ink, and then finished it off with some bits of scrap paper and, of course, a string bow. I know I've mentioned before that I don't make a lot of Valentine cards. Seems like this year though I just can't get enough! I found a cute little stamp set in the dollar bin that included two adorable little heart stamps that I have been having fun with.
I just recently bought some Versa Mark ink as well. Its a watermark ink that you can also emboss with. I LOVE this ink. Every time I use it I can't help but think, "where have you been all my life?". Well, for this card I used my Versa Mark to stamp my hearts, and then heat embossed them. I also embossed the little "love" sentiment. Shout out to my sister for the Crop-a-Dile she gave me for my birthday! I used it to add an eyelet to the banner tag. And of course, I had to add a little string. Kaiwi teases me about putting string on EVERY card I make. I just think it looks cute, though. Now I just need to decide who to send this to. Any volunteer recipients? |
