Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

Hello everyone, Elaine here today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog to share a card for Valentine’s theme week.  For my project I created a collection of cards using both older and newer Pretty Pink Posh products.

To start with I cut 4 different shades of pink and red card stock down to 5 ½” x 2 ¾“ pieces.  Using my stamp positioner, I stamped the LOVE stamp from the ‘Love’ stamp set on to each of the coloured card panels with Versamark Ink, not forgetting to treat each piece with an antistatic powder tool before inking.  I coated each of the panels with white embossing powder and heat set until glossy.

To cut out the LOVE embossed letters I used the LOVE coordinating die.  Setting the die cut letters aside, I started creating the background of the cards using white card stock cut to 4 ½” x 4 ½” (the finished cards are 5” x 5”).  Using stencil ‘A’ from the ‘Layered Hearts’ stencil set I slowly ink blended on Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  Through stencil ‘B’ from the stencil set I blended on Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.  To add some extra interest to the panel I flicked on some ink splatters using a small paint brush and watered-down Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.  I set aside to dry.

Small strips of foam tape were applied to the back of the letters and secured to the heart stencilled panels.  I used one letter of each of the cardstock colours.

For the sentiment running through the centre of the card I white heat embossed ‘Hugs & Kisses’ multiple times from the new ‘All My Love’ stamp set on to black card stock and trimmed each one into a small strip.  More thin strips of foam tape were added to the back of each strip and secured to the card.  The whole card panel was adhered to a white 5” x 5” card base.

For some extra sparkle I used the Valentine Jewel Mix to adhere a few jewels in various sizes with tiny dots of liquid adhesive.

Thank you for joining me here today, I hope this collection of cards gives you some inspiration for your own creations. 

Big Valentine’s hugs, Elaine
