I Love You

Good Morning!
With February almost here I see so much Valentine inspiration  in blogland & I wanted to make a card too but without using too much red! 

Here's my card for today - 


The focal element of this card is the spot light die cut tag (Paper Trey Ink). 
What is a Valentine card without a heart! I stamped the heart from Simon Says Stamp "I See You" set on the tag such that a bit is stamped off the die cut, on to the card stock. Heat embossed this in silver embossing powder.


I glued 5 tags together for the spotlight effect. I alternated a black & red tag to add some interest & I loved the dash of red popping from the sides. 


I covered the heart, only on the tag with clear Wink of Stella, this created magic & further high lighted the heart.

Be Happy!

Hello dear friends!
I wanted to play along Simos Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is OMBRE. 
To create the stenciled (Faber Castell - mixed media stencils ) ombre background I used distress inks - squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, wild honey & fired brick. I have used lots of new supplies here - the stampendous zinnia stamp colored with my new Gansai Tambi watercolors & fussy cut. The sentiment is heat embossed on vellum.



A few other cards I made earlier with an ombre effect can be viewed here, here, here & here.

Just a Note.....with Peerless Watercolors

Hello all & a warm welcome again!
Recently I purchased a set of Peerless Watercolors & this is the first card made using these. Stamped the image from the 'Magnolias for her' set by Altenew on watercolor paper (Ranger). Cut a panel from one side & adhered a strip of coordinating foil sheet. Wanted to keep the sentiment simple to retain interest in the stamped image.
