Valentine Card 2013 #1

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS) Valentine card using Krafty Christmas cardstock for base since I thought the red design had a pretty Valentine swirl look to it. Used Tim Holtz Valentine Background embossing folder on the pink cardstock layer. For sentiment mat I used pink foam that has adhesive backing with Stampin' Up Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts that gives it a raised heart look that looks nice in person but cannot be seen as much in photo. Used Spellbinder Nest Classic Hearts die for sentiment tag that is white cardstock. Stamped sentiment on sentiment tag.

























adhesive: Scotch Foam Mounting Tape
foam: pink foam that has adhesive backing - heart mat for sentiment - adds texture
ink: Memento Lady Bug
paper: cardstock - Krafty Christmas (base), pastel pink, white
Spellbinder: Nest Classic Hearts
stamp: Hero Arts Days to Celebrate
Stampin' Up: Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts - adds texture
Tim Holtz: Valentine Background embossing folder - adds texture
