Today I’m sharing
a Valentine card featuring an image from the vaults of Simply B Stamps and the
Emo Valentine collection, Heart Break Miller.
I’ve not done Valentine’s cards before, mostly because I can’t get my act together enough to make Christmas cards but that’s the great thing about being on a DT, you are forced to get crafty! Now I said I loved the effect of that Fran-tage when I used it on my not-Steampunk card. This time I didn’t stamp first, I just piled up the embossing enamel and let it all melt together to give a lovely glossy centre to my card. I think the Spellbinder’s hearts are a bit funny, they don’t quite nest as well as the regular shapes but I still like the effect they create.
Robyn’s Fetish’s
current challenge theme is no designer paper, which is exactly the effect I was
going for in my CAS card, the kind of card a real Aussie guy might be willing
to buy for his Valentine. I think this shows
you don’t have to have designer papers to make a real statement with your
card. Although I did deviate slightly
from the monochromatic, I’m entering this in the current challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenges and hope they overlook the slight splashes of red and
gold.
Don’t forget our
challenge at Simply Challenged Challenges too, you can use any image but we
sure love to see the SBS ones, it’s anything New Year’s related.
