Let's see, where to start. Well, for one, there is a new challenge up. It's called Festive Friday, #festivefriday, and it's different. Among other things you will be able to rack up points good for goodies. This is the very first week, however it will be a 2 week challenge. Check it out HERE.
Now for the card. I used a brand new embossing folder that will be available starting Feb 16th as part of the free SAB goodies. SU is adding a few new things for us. The Hearts on this card are from an Occasions set called Heart Happiness. It's one of 2 Valentine sets in the Occasions catalog, the other set can be purchased as a bundle. I decided instead to buy this set AND the framelit set separate.
A couple of the framlits also work for stamps in this set. And TIP HERE. Don't ever get rid of common shapes punches. They have a way of showing up in new stamp sets. I discovered that the Sweetheart punch that is retired works on a stamp in this set, AND one of the framelits in the retired Hearts collection set fits the large heart in here that is filled with flowers.
My colors today are Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Calypso Coral and Gold.
The strip of DSP across the card is from Painted With Love, lots of gold, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral. It's just gorgeous.
My sentiment if from Petal Palette stamp set, also in the Occasions catalog, stamped in Gold on vellum and cut out using a die from the Stitched Shapes set. Now you are going to ask me how I glued that vellum on. It's really not too hard. I put glue dots under text, or as here up in that corner tucked under the edge of one of the hearts.
I hope you enjoyed, and please do check out this challenge, I think it's going to really be fun.
