Love You Card


This is my first Valentine's card this year. Actually, it's my very first card of the year. I had some fun with this one. I used a House Mouse stamp and colored it with watercolor pencils. Then I used Diamond Glaze by Judikins to make the candy dish look more like glass. I don't think it shows up really well in the photo, but in person it turned out pretty cool. It definitely has a glassy sheen to it. I then adhered the stamped image to pearly Bazzil cardstock and added a heart shaped transparent die cut from Fancy Pants Designs to the upper right corner with two brads from Queen & Co. I sanded the die cut and rubbed a little yellow paint on it, then went around the edge with some Stickles before attaching it. I then adhered it to the card base, which is Basicgrey Oh Baby Girl paper. The letter stickers are the Cheeky Shimmer Stickers by Making Memories.
