I cheated and made two of the same cards, but in two different shades of red and different designer papers.I first stamped Will You Be My Valentine? by Simon Says Stamp "Paper Hugs" with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I put Distress Ink "Barn Door" on my craft mat and added some water and smooshed my water color paper over the red ink.
I sponged Distress Ink in "Barn Door" over the piece of designer paper from Crate Paper "Hello Love" for the ombre look. I added some white gel pen to the hearts on the designer paper, but my white looks pink against the red. I added a stamped heart from the "Paper Hugs" stamp set in "Barn Door" and finished off the card, by adding some heart sequins.
On the second card, I did the same process, but used Distress Ink in "Festive Berry" and used a piece of designer paper from PTI called "Holiday Plaid Patterned Paper". I added some silver thread and some heart sequins to finish off this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I love it when you do.
These are both beautiful Sue! I especially like the 2nd one with the plaid paper...who would have ever thought of using plaid for Valentine's, but I have to say that I really, really like it! Great job on both of these!! :0)
