Valentine Cards #2 - Heat Embossed
Hi Everybody. Just a few more Valentine cards. I made 3 of them with two similar but different designer paper. I heat embossed the heart and flowers with gold embossing powder to give it a shiny appearance.
I think gold and red go well together. I didn't create a sketch for this one because it's a fairly simple layout.
I don't know if you've figured it out by now but I love to heat emboss my images. It's just a fun way to create dimension to an otherwise flat image. I actually stamped and heat embossed the flower images for the Glittery Ornaments for Christmas but I didn't have a chance to use them all so I decided to use them for these Valentine cards.
Have you guys started on your Valentine cards already? It's best to start early.
