A Card for My Valentine...

 


Good Friday Morning Ladies,

Woohoo!  It's the weekend and we don't have to go anywhere!!  I love a lazy weekend,  although they are rarely 'lazy' !  Paul will busy himself in the gatden, depending on the weather,  bless him he probably prays for dry weather so that I don't find him things to do in the house! 🤣😂

Today I am sharing the card I made for Paul for Valentines day, I used a new stamp and die set that I have had for a weeks, I earnt it as a free gift when I bought all the card for Becca's wedding invitations. The set is called 'Heart Shaped'   

I stamped the heart wreath on the front panel twice, 1 a little higher than the other and overlapped them slightly, I added white embossing powder and heat set.  I then took Balmy Blue ink and blended around the white stamped heart and after allowing it to dry and wiped over the embossed area where it had resisted the ink. This gave a soft haze of blue making those hearts pop. 

I die cut two of the heart Wreaths in darker blue and layered them up, I glued it over one of the hearts.  I layered the front panel onto a mat of the darker blue and then onto a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch card base. 

To finish I added the sentiment, stamped and embossed in white on Soft grey card and die cut.  To finish I added a little bow. 

I hope that you all have a lovely day,  

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  1. We are now on our way home after a lovely stay at Potters resort in Hopton on Sea I can thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay The food has been excellent Such a huge choice The staff were very attentive Tons of things to do including crafty stuff Little touches like being able to hang your big heavy coats up outside the dining room and leave them there all day And of course the free branded drinks bar None of this “whose round is it” etc
