Valentine’s Day is a cardmaking holiday. If you have a lot of people on your card-receiving list and you need to create several of the same cards quickly, it’s easiest when you limit your supply choices. That doesn’t mean, however, that your cards need to look simple. For this design, I choose the new line of VersaFine Clair inks that are beautifully vibrant and I’ve used Tulip Red to create an amazing background color saturation.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1 hour

Directions

Step 1

Ink background stamps with Tulip Red VersaFine Clair and stamp onto pattern paper.

Step 2

Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

Step 3

Stamp assorted sized flowers with Brilliance ink in Pearlescent Orchid and stamp leaves with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair.

Step 4

Die cut the flowers and leaves using the coordinating dies.

Step 5

Mat the stamped background with black cardstock. Add the flowers and leaves to the panel with brads

Step 6

Mat panel with red cardstock. Create a card from black cardstock. Add panel to the card at a slight angle using foam adhesives for dimension.
