It's been a crazy week, but in between all the appointments and commitments I managed to get some valentines made. The ones going to Wisconsin were in the mail earlier this week. I have one to share today for a couple of challenges. First off, the current Time Out Challenge:
I was attracted to the red and white color combination, the embossed background, and of course the hearts. On our way to Wisconsin in January, we stopped at Buffalo Stamps and Things. All Alexandra Renke products were 20% off with a coupon so I picked up some paper, a die, and two embossing folders. This one was perfect for Valentine's Day, but I can easily see using it for an anniversary or a wedding card.
After running the white cardstock through with the embossing folder, I used an old, old corner punch to add a bit more interest. The sentiment, from Papertrey Ink's "Keep It Simple: Valentine" was embossed in gold on a banner die cut from Pure Poppy cardstock. The whole panel then was added to a top-folding Pure Poppy card. CAS, but pretty.
Here's a closer look at the amazing dimension you get with the embossing folder.
