Sweet Heart

Hallo,
A couple cards to start me getting in a Valentine mood to show you today.
I did these for the current challenge over at the Impression Obsession blog which is for 'hearts and flowers'
Check out the challenge here - http://www.mitrafriant.typepad.com/
The stamp that I used is one of the Delt cubes - #5 (H1638).
I had origionally planned on layering the hearts on these 2 cards and then decided they looked better on their own.
For the backgrounds I stamped one side of the cube in gray over white base cardstock. With this first card I then stamped the same side in white on red paper and cut it out with a Spellbinderrs die. For the second card I stamped in distress red onto white and cut it out with a smaller die from the same set.
With the first card I edged the heart and base cardstock with gold mettalic pen and added some gold pearl accents with a viva decor pen. The little phrase on the heart in both cards is a rub-on.
And I used rub-ons in the corners of the second card too. I used decorative brads and some stry doo-dads on my desk to decorate the hearts.


All for today - gotta get ready to work tonight....
Take Care

Simple valentines

Hallo,
It's wednesday and the first of 4 days off work - yippee!!!
Not sure how much I will manage to get done today so will post this for you before I get a bit of sleep - then if I can get up early(ya uh hu - we'll see...)
I will need to do some house cleaning and an errand or 2 before I can stamp....
Very little stamping on these quick little Valentines cards....
This first one has a bit of stamping on the inside that says 'Happy Valentines Day' and the next 2 have the same phrase on the outside.
The hearts are cut and embossed with the Spellbinders hearts set.
The biggest red heart is regular red cardstock with a white craft ink pad swiped over the embossing to highlight it. The 2 smaller hearts are cut from 'Coredinations' paper and then I sanded the embossing to show the core color underneath.
I added some flat-backed pearls for accent and that was about it....


All for today - off to sleep for a bit....
Take Care

p.s. the stamp is a very old one from 1989 from Stampendous I believe.....
