My darling little valentine is ruined and I haven’t another ready at the moment!
The little 3x3 card was going just fine till
- the flourish broke
- the heart didn’t stamp perfectly
- and the sentiment is too thick and the embossing powder looks coagulated
But
- the flourish broke in the right place for the design envisioned so I can live with that. I cut it on Silhouette SD and used 24 lb. white inkjet paper.
- the heart stamp looked okay anyway
- but the sentiment ruined the whole card! I did not want cut-out letters or cut out phrases look and i don’t have a white ink pen at the moment.
So, I am crying but the basic idea is nice and in case i can’t get one up now before Valentines' day, I am posting it anyway.
The background is a ‘vignetted’ inking of my Hero Arts ‘Old Letter Writing’ stamp in sepia ink . The heart is embossed in white opaque detail embossing powder. the flourish I glued with Sailor’s Rolling ball glue pen. And since my embossing ink pen is too heavy a point I used the glue pen for embossing the sentiment, but it still came out too heavy.
