Hearts and Roses for my Valentine - Kitchen Sink Stamps

I wanted to create a Valentine with a vintage feel using the traditional colors of pink and red with roses, hearts, and lace for today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card.



I started this 5 x 7 Valentine with the white core pink panel which I embossed with a lacy 3D embossing folder from Crafter's Companion. I then sanded it so that the white would show through on the lace. Next I stamped the roses, rosebuds, stems, and leaves on pre-cut SVG shapes available with Heart & Roses from Kitchen Sink Stamps. After creating my spray of roses and gluing them to the pink panel, I die cut the hearts with my Spellbinders stacking hearts dies and added a sentiment from Love 4 Ducky & Teddy. The hearts were then popped up on dimensionals before I added the satin bow and rhinestone embellishments!


I am entering this card in the following challenges this week:

Color Hues - Color Challenge #56 - Pink and Red 

Can You Handle the Pressure - Anything Goes with Dry Embossing and a Twist of Dots

Simon Says: Fabulous Flowers

Creations in Pink - Challenge #54 - Anything Goes in MAINLY PINK
