August 18, 2006, Newsletter Issue #109: Valentine´s Day Card Suggestion

Tip of the Week

Here are instructions for a Valentine´s Day card that I recently made that I thought looked pretty good!

I used that georgeous deep red color that you can get as my base card. First, I used a small heart stamp and some Versamark Watermark ink to stamp all over the front of the base card. Then I added a white rectangle of card that had been sponged down the edges with matching red ink. Finally, I stamped a large heart stamp (from Imaginations) onto red card and embossed it in gold. I then cut closely around the large heart so that I could stick it onto the layered base card. At that point I found some white and red curling ribbon and curled a few strands and pulled them apart into very small, curly, strands and stuck them onto the middle of card. I then used thick mounting tape to stick the heart over the strands so that the strands curl out around the heart.

Now all you have to do is add the right words inside and post it off!
