#TGIFC561: Giving You a Big Smooch

Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and I decided I had better get to making the cards I need! This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges to use embossing powder gave me a starting point for my card.

 

I created this Valentine's Day card for my youngest daughter. She loves to give me a big, wet kiss every night at bedtime, so this sentiment and the cute bear from the Valentine Kisses stamp set are perfect for her! I paired them with the heart outline stamp from the Endless Love stamp set. This heart was embossed in gold multiple times on Watercolor Paper, then watercolored with Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath ink. I love a good watercolor resist!

 

I've also embossed my sentiment. The card is finished off with a few extra touches of gold in the mat behind my background piece and the ribbon, as well as my favorite new embellishment - the Pearlized Faceted Circles.

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Endless Love, Valentine Kisses

Ink: Memento Black, Strawberry Slush, Versamark

Stampin' Blends Markers: Crumb Cake, Petal Pink

Paper: Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Gold Foil, Watercolor Paper

Embellishments: Pearlied Faceted Circles, Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Water Painters, Stylish Shapes Dies, Valentine Kisses Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine 

 

Happy Stamping!
