Happy Valentine’s Day friends!!! I love making and giving valentines every year! This year I made some cards for people and some treat boxes for others. This card was for a very special someone that I’m very excited to give!
I started by choosing this sweet image from Pink & Main Prickly Hugs to stamp and color. I die cut it and set it aside to work on my background.
I’m a little extra into this pink and green combo right now so I knew my background would be pink while I was coloring the green cacti. First I die cut the Heart Spotlight cover die from white cardstock. Then I inked up the heart that comes from that with distress oxide ink in picked raspberry and kitsch flamingo.
Then I took a panel and inked it up with worn lipstick and spun sugar distress oxide and like that combo better so I went over the heart with those colors toning down the brightness. I spritzed the panel and heart with water and flicked them with black acrylic paint.
While those were drying I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on a Large Sentiment Strip die cut. Next, I used a combination of liquid glue and foam squares to adhere everything to a card base.
For finishing touches I just added stardust Stickles to the cheek on both cacti.
