Valentines

I'm back after my little break and am posting some Valentine's Day cards. This one is an experiment in layering, not sure if I like it. The heart image is from a company called Magenta. A Canadian company with beautiful high quality stamps. I embossed it with silver ep on paper that I had watercoloured. The red layer is a piece of metal put through the Cuttlebug and the background is a Hero Arts stamp clear embossed.


These next two cards were quick to make. I just embossed the image and coloured in a bit of it with Glaze pens and added a decorative edge with punches.




For this I cut out a couple heart shapes and clear embossed the large heart and used a herringbone stamp for the small one (all stamps Hero Arts). I stamped the XOXO onto the ribbon and added a border punched strip.


Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Hi, Susan! Terrific cards! I love the Magenta stamp you found! It looks so good with the silver embossing and the lovely watery colors in the background. Just gorgeous!

    And I like the last one you made with the two cut-out hearts. The brocade looks amazing on the red heart and I love the stamped ribbon. It's wonderful! :-)
