I have used one of my all-time favorite Rose stamp for today’s card project. I love this stamp because of its realistic layering effect.

Make a Valentine's Card with a Blue and Green Color Scheme

For today’s card, I stamped two super adorable seal images using black ink and colored them using few shades of brown Memento ink. Then I used my sharp pair of scissors to cut them. To create a fun background I used a solid stripe stamp and two Versamagic inks which give a beautiful opaque chalky result. I repeatedly stamped them to create a cute plaid background. I arranged the layout for my card and its quick and easy card perfect for valentine’s day.
