Happy Valentine's Day


Happy Valentine's Day friends! Popping in to share a few cards with you before I head out tonight. DH and I are going out without the kids tonight - dinner and comedy show - for the first time alone in ages (except for work events). YAY! 

First card is for the Papertrey Anniversary Day 8: Blue Ombre Challenge. Love blues....

I heat embossed a background of medallions from Fancy That on white card stock. I applied Enchanted Evening with an ink blending tool, darker in the middle of each medallion and blending lighter outward. I think Laura Bassen created a gorgeous card with this technique but she used wonderful rainbow colors. I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and wrapped it around the medallion patterned panel. I mounted it on white card stock for some contrast against the Enchanted Evening card panel. 



Next card is for the Day 7: Heavy Metal Challenge where we were challenged to use only metallic gold and silver with neutral colors. I masked off part of a black panel diagonally and heat embossed some images from Mehndi Medallion on the bottom portion. I stamped the sentiment from Thank You Kindly along the invisible diagonal line. The finished panel was adhered with foam tape on top of black card base. The black on black popped up looks really cool. 


 This next card is for the CASology cue card LOVE. I adhered a small envelope from my scrapbooking stash and stamped it with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted stamps. I die cut a bunch of small hearts in a rainbow of colors and added them floating out of the envelope.




This last card uses a new Hero Arts stencil I recently got. LOVE it! I blended Pure Poppy on one floral image in the corner and Sweet Blush in the bottom flower. Sentiment from Keep It Simple is heat embossed in black and whole panel is mounted on Pure Poppy card stock. Color inspiration is from Colour Me Striking challenge this week. 


Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for taking a peek!
