I love using our embossing folders! I think I got this idea online, but can't remember if I saw it in Splitcoast or someone's blog. If you see your card here, please let me know and I'll give proper credit.I read somewhere where you could mix the Stampin' Up! shimmer paint with rubbing alcohol to make a shimmer mist. Since I couldn't find my rubbing alcohol, I did something a little different. I mixed 2 parts Pearl Ex pigment powder with 1 part Gum Arabic and mixed with water. Works just as well. The Real Red sheet is sprayed with the Pearl Ex mist and then run through the embossing folder while still wet. This helps to make a more pronounced impression. Set aside to dry. (by the way, this looks WAY better in real life!)
In the meantime, stamp the Valentine stamp from Holiday Best on a scrap of Shimmer paper and punch out with Wide Oval Punch.
Attach the Real Red to the base card of Regal Rose. Using the Scalloped Oval Punch, punch through both layers of CS in the upper right hand corner. Position the Valentine punchout behind the opening, and attach to the inside back of the card so that it's centered through the opening.
Wrap and tie a length of ribbon around the card.
