Pink Valentine #2

OK, gotta get these posted before Valentine's Day is here and gone! I have to try to get mine out in the mail tomorrow. We're supposed to have a big show storm with 10-14" of snow by the time it's all over and I hope my mailman can get through! I think Wednesday is going to be more of a problem than Tuesday.

Anyway, here's the last of the Valentine cards. It's technique is pretty much the same as the previous embossed red card. So, here's the picture, directions and the recipe.

The Regal Rose 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.

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 Regal Rose to the base card of Real Red. Using the Scalloped Oval Punch, punch through both layers of CS in the lower 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. Use the Stickles on the centers of the flowers.
