Valentine's card with a doily, heart focal element and some embossing and thread
It is time to think of Valentine's!!! I am making a few cards for my stash. I started with the focal element - a vintage heart digital which I laser printed a while back. I used my Circle cutter to trim it out of the sheet because I did not have a circle die the right size. Worked really well!! I layered it onto this beautiful white paper doily and wanted some contrast so I added a circle of gold foil in behind. The foil is from Ferraro Rocher chocolates!!! Chocolate is always good and if it provides crafting supplies that is a double good!!! I embossed a coordinating red card front with a script stamp (SU) and embossed it with gold embossing powder to create my background. Added gold embroidery thread to create some upward movement in the background adhering the ends in the center where they will be covered by the focal element. I glued my large heart/doily element to my card using 3D foam tape after stabilizing it with a circle of cardstock on the back. I found the greeting in my stash, trimmed it before layering it with red and mounting it to my card using 3D foam tape. Worked out well!!!!!!!!! Therese
