Still posting Valentines

Since I have been such a slug about getting things done lately, I am still posting Valentines. I did get a few out in the mail and think they got there on time. This is an old technique I used but it still works. I sponged a panel with two colors using blending brushes. Then ran the panel through an embossing folder. To highlight the words I sanded over the panel, then added a die cut love covered in glossy accents. 

Kleptomaniacs always take things seriously.




Be kind to one another.

Same here Brenda, not sure if my cards arrived on time or not, but only got a few out. I love your card, the colors are so pretty together and the black just makes those colors pop even more. I remember when we embossed and sanded all the time. I haven't done it in so long, need to do it again. Your card is fabulous and I love it! Hugs, Brenda

LOVE the gorgeous colours of your blended background, Brenda. So pretty the embossing and sanding ... something I have only done on foil card stock. Need to give it a try on regular card stock!! Beautifully finished with the glossy LOVE die-cut sentiment. xx

I love these colors together, Brenda, especially with the black card base and shiny black sediment! It's a perfect Valentine e/f to sand in order to pop out the words. Great funny! Hugs, Darnell
