I like to use special folds or techniques when making cards for my husband. When I saw the Building Block card on SCS, I knew that was the one to use for his Valentine. I embossed the letters and heart on the blocks with opaque white embossing powder and added faux stitching with a white gel pen. I used stamps from four different companies on this one. In a rare card for me, this one has NO digi stamps. :) I kept the left inside panel blank for my message.
The front is an old Unity Stamps image. I embellished it with black rhinestones, a marker and some Wink of Stella. I also used faux stitching and more black rhinestones to finish off the front panel.
The sentiment on the inside panel was actually a 2 line stamp. I used "selective inking" to turn it into a 4 line stamp. I layered several heart die cuts and gave them several coats of Wink of Stella.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white), Bazzill (red, black)
Patterned Paper: The Paper Studio (Love Me Tender)
Stamps: SU {Brushstroke Alphabet Upper (LOVE YOU)}, Inkadinkado {Expressions (heart)}, Mark's Finest Papers {Dogwood Blossoms (inside sentiment)}, Unity Stamp Company {My Heart Sings (front image)}
Inks: Versamark, Versafine (Onyx Black)
Tools/Embellishments: Staedtler Triplus Fine Tip pens (red, black), Wink of Stella brush glitter pen (clear), Uniball Signo white opaque pen, rhinestones (Want 2 Scrap - black), Spellbinders (Petite Ovals Large & Small), Lawn Fawn dies (Hearts), Stampendous embossing powder (Opaque White)
