So here they are. Happy VD DS.
Inside reads "always... my little angel" (Clear and Simple stamps). Just to remind us both! Stamped the HA Crossword BG onto PP, die cut the heart and then used HA Alpha to heat emboss the "Love You". Some echo park PP and an alpha sticker and this was pretty easy thanks to the HA February sketch.
I was a lucky winner at Ellen Hutson around Christmas and got a box of Hero Arts goodies. Put the dots BG stamp and some yummy new inks (Bubble Gum and Butter Bar) to use. And tried the faux letterpress that Julie E. presented on the Hero Arts blog. (So not sure that I did it right. Which side of the embossing folder are ya supposed to ink?!?!?) So I'm playing in Hero Arts February challenge:
Love? Check. Lace? Check. And a sketch. Check.
And in the corners of my mind I was stuck on hot pink (the HA Bubble Gum ink color) after seeing the Runway Inspired Challenge #29 - DSquared2. I had wood on the brain too, but now looking at the photo I'm not sure where I got that from...

Fabulous cards Maria! I just LOVE your style. You have such a keen eye for design, adding the card elements in just the right places and selecting paper that works perfectly with those elements! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I love having company and really appreciate your sweet comments.

Very cute cards!
Beautiful work, Maria! Love the mix of colors and use of woodgrain in the 2nd card! So glad that you join the fun with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!
I think you did the faux letterpress perfectly. The card is incredible. And I love how you went bold with the black dots, gorgeous!

This yellow woodgrain faux letterpress looks absolutely amazing! Looks so good with the pink monogram!! Love it! So glad you joined us over at the Runway Inspired Challenge!
I love your faux letterpress...and yellow?! A brilliant choice :) By the way- you can ink either side of the embossing! Thanks for joining us on the Runway!
Both of the cards are great, Maria, but that yellow woodgrain letterpress is FANTASTIC!! And the pink/fuchsia on top goes so well. Who would have known?! Love it to pieces.
