Valentine or Wedding?

I have used this card sketch a number of times and love how it is so versatile. 

Today's card was made as a Valentine, using the classic colours of Black, Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler.

This is a detail shot showing the variety of patterns from Stampin' Up's gorgeous Modern Medley Designer Series Paper Pack( #126926). 

The small silver heart is made using Glimmer Paper - silver (# 124005) 

and the smallest heart from the Hearts Collection Framelits (#125599)

The word "Love" comes from the Expressions Thinlits dies (#132171)and is made from Cherry Cobbler card.

The bow is made using Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding (#120992)

And here is the finished card.

Each of the flags have not been glued all the way so there is some texture and movement in the card. All the paper pieces have been adhered directly to Basic Black card. 

Hope you get some inspiration and will try this card using many different papers.

Today I made a new card  with a couple of new friends, using the Stampin' Up!® FABULOUS YOU stamp set. ( p.39 of the Annual Catalogue) It is available in both clear mount and wood mount stamps.

I've had this stamp set for a while and really like it but the opportunity to use it just did not arise....until today that is.

I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder then hand coloured a couple of the flowers. A piece of Designer Series Paper from the retiring Patterns Paper Stack - Subtles (#117152) makes a great quick background then all I needed to add was some coordinating Seam Binding in Baja Breeze (# 122331) a heart cut from the Hearts Collections Framelits (#125599),  and the beautiful embossed border from the Delicate Designs Embossing Folders (# 127023)

The detail photo shows how I just added a little bling here and there.

Hope you like the card and if you would like to order any of the products you can do so via
