Vintage Valentine - Pals Paper Arts

Hi Everyone and I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.  Last night we had freezing rain which turned everything into an ice block including my car.  The ice is beginning to melt and it's above freezing so hopefully the roads will be OK.  I usually go to visit my parents on Sunday and they will be disappointed if I can't get there.

The card for today is for the PPA76 challenge.

Stamps: Be My Valentine (w-122045 - $10.95, p 43 Occasions Mini)

Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride DSP
Ink: Real Red, Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Versamark, Clear Embossing Powder, Black Embossing Powder, Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon (3/8”), Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon (1/8”), Trinket Keys, Rosettes

This card really reminds me of vintage wallpaper.  I used the In Colour DSP (Level 1 Hostess gift) and sponged the edges in Crumb Cake and then to make really appear vintage, the whole piece was sponged.

The Very Vanilla cs was embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper EF and also sponged with the Crumb Cake.  The heart was stamped twice, once with versamark and Real Red ink and then again with versamark and Basic Black ink. The red hear was embossed with Clear EP and cut out using Snips and the banner on the black heart was embossed with Black EP and cut out using Snips. The red heart was attached to the embossed Very Vanilla cs and the banner attached to the red heart using dimensionals so that it would appear to be 3-D.

The 3/8" ribbon was attached and then tied with the 1/8" ribbon with the Key Trinket attached.  The  Rosettes was dyed with Blushing Bride ink and attached to the ribbon. 

You are able to purchase any of these products by going to my Stampin' Up! website


Enjoy the rest of your day and until next time....
