Happy Heart Day



Talk about sparkly - this one is all glitter!  I decided to let the glitter be both the embellishment and the focal point.  All of the images are from the Love Fairy rubber stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  The three panels with images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then covered with Cloud Nine velvet glitter.  By stamping the images first and then applying the glitter, it gives the image a softer look.  The two sentiments and the hearts panels were created by covering the cardstock with Cloud Nine velvet glitter and then stamping directly onto the glitter with Staz-On (Jet Black and Blazing Red).  I mounted the two sentiments onto cardstock covered in Gypsy Red velvet glitter.  All of the hearts were colored using a Spun Sugar Distress Marker after applying the glitter.  Each panel was then adhered to the base, which is covered with Cyclamen glitter.  You can check out the SNS Tips and Techniques section for lots of great tips on how to do these techniques plus lots of other ideas and tips.  There you have it... a very CAS, but extremely sparkly Valentine card.
