Love and sparkles

Being the Valentines season just gives me one more reason to use pink, glitter and hearts!! Well, it's not like I usually use an excuse really...I mean, heck, who doesn't LOVE them some pink glittery anything, right?

I did a little background stamping on a pink card using the teeny heart and "love" sentiment from the Heartfelt Greetings set, then stamped the N21 heart border on a diecut in pink and filled in the hearts using the DeNami Strawberry Freeze glitter...the pinkness of the glitter is pretty faint with all the other pink around it. I added a strip of DeNami pink grossgrain ribbon under the diecut and trimmed the ends in a "V" pattern. After adhering it to the card face I added two little pink bows in matching ribbon.

Silver hearts

After having such good luck with my Valentines card for the blog hop I decided to play with velum once again. I just LOVE this color combo and was happy to finally be able to use those large rhinestones that come in the package that you never seem to manage to use. I used the N134 teeny heart background and the N21 heart border, hope you like it. I made the card from a plum cardstock and added a pink panel that I punched a pretty border on. I stamped the teeny heart background in a dark pink to gray cardstock and mounted it using foam tape then attached the velum that I have embossed using the heart border stamp and silver embossing powder. To attach the velum I simply used my quickie glue pen and traced the stamp on the back side and a little spot where I knew I'd place the rhinestones. I really love seeing the teeny hearts through the velum.
