loving you is so easy [card].

This morning before work, I decided to work on a card that could be used for Valentine's day. I used the challenge prompt at City Crafter this week - You Matter.

For this card, I started by feeling inspired by one of the Unity Stamp Co kits I got on sale last week. I heat embossed with some silver sparkle embossing powder from Stampin' UP!

Then I decided I had a really great embossing folder that would be great on this card. So I used my Spellbinder's Grand Calibur to emboss the base of my card. I roughed up the top layer of cardstock with my Tim Holtz distressing tool.

Next I added the sparkling heat embossed hearts onto the distressed heart base and tied on some pink May Arts ribbon. Then I remembered I had a cute Paper Smooches heart die cut so I used some distress inks to color some white cardstock and then die cut the hearts and stuck them on the front.

On the inside of my card I used the two same distress ink colors to color the background and then I used a sentiment stamp on the inside. Stamping on the inside of my cards is something new for me.

Happy Valentine's day!
