Good Morning Sistahs!
I can't believe it's already Monday! And what a glorious Monday it is. Do I really need an excuse to stamp with these fabulous sets? Nah, but it's a great excuse to retreat to my craft room and watch girlie movies. This weekend's selections were: 27 Dresses and Definitely Maybe. I love them both!! But you didn't come here to hear me babble, you came here to see a card right?
So I have to tell you that I am absolutely LOVIN' the New 3-Step Hearts set. (especially with Valentine's Day coming up.) I think I've made like 4 cards for my hubby. *giggle* I am going to have a hard time deciding on which one to give him.
What do you think about this one? (The inside reads: You mean the world to me.)
The black strip in the middle is actually 3/4" Super Tape (thanks rachel!) covered with black fine art glitter. Once I got the glitter down I stamped the xoxoxo from the Never A Loss 4 Words Set in Riding Hood Red. Then I punched out a circle with a Marvy Circle Punch (I think it's the pink one,) and stamped the heart image.
Step 1: Ruby Red (stamped off once)
Step 2: Ruby Red
Step 3: Riding Hood Red
Then I nested the image inside the scalloped circle and another circle of Riding Hood Red, then I decided I wanted to add BLING! I mean seriously, the glittah was a little lonely without the BLING. Finally I added Glossy Accents to the "continents" for a little more dimension and texture. Ta Da! A card is born.
Now that you've gotten your fill of the eye candy, BLOP on over to see what the rest of the crew has cooked up for you. And speaking of *Cooke* our very own Nicole is here in Colorado this week and we're hooking up tomorrow for a rockin' good time. I can't wait. Okay, NOW go check 'em out....
Happy Monday and Happy Stampin'

Well, I {heart} this card. I love the crystal Effects and you can see it in the picture instead of just trying to imagine that it is there. It looks great.
