Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! It's about time to get ready for the next big occasion..Valentine's Day! The card companies & flower & candy companies basically made up this occasion to sell stuff. Boy have we circumvented that. We make our own! So we traded Hallmark pre-made for rubber stamps. I think that's awesome! Now if I could only figure out a way to duplicate Russell Stover's chocolate covered marshmallows, I'd be set. Those are my absolute fave.
So here is my NOT a Hallmark, super easy Valentine card. Apparently I made it & forgot to ever post it, so here it is.
My CAS card was really just that. I had the embossed bg in my stash (it is a Belleek technique). On the bg, I used the Distress ink to ink the folder before embossing it & I used the oxide ink on the greeting. I added a larger lilac layer & a sheer bow & done!
Here's a look at the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Supplies:
stamps: DRS Designs –Hugs Kisses Valentine Wishes (inside: Valentine’s Full of Love, Triple Silhouette Hearts )
paper: Staples 110# white, lilac

Julie, this is so elegant and such a lovely color! Love the ribbon too. A wonderful way to showcase these images and greetings - CAS perfection for sure. Thanks for the inspiration. I may send out a bunch of Valentines.
I have never tried those chocolate covered marshmallows - I need to to check them out.

Oh wow!! This is so beautiful Julie! Wow!!! Love the letter press bg and the colors so soft and feminine! Beautiful!!!
What a gorgeous card, Julie. The embossed background looks amazing in the soft lilac color! Love this!
Beautiful Julie, absolutely beautiful! I think I could easily make 30 of these and not get bored watching the white paper come alive! Love that you kept the rest of the card so simple - definitely all it needed! Just wish I could make as pretty a bow as you do :)
So pretty inside and out! I love the color and the embossing is just beautiful!
