This vintage style Valentine was created for my dear friend Veronica. On a piece of Shimmery White paper I stamped the Hero Arts Tapestry Script Background in Brilliance Pearlescent Beige. Since the image is so pretty I didn't want to cover it all up!
The heart was cut from Blushing Bride paper with the center from Shimmery White, which I sponged in beige ink. The flourish and heart border were done the same way.
Friend was stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing powder on a Spellbinders tag cut from Shimmery White paper. Both the key and tag were hung from gold cording with a piece of light pink seam binding. Kaiser pearls in blush were added to the flourish. Before mounting everything I used an edge distresser and sponged the edges with ColorBox Chalk Creamy Brown.
The inside sentiment by PSX was stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing powder and a heat gun. The row of hearts at the bottom was cut from Blushing Bride paper using the new Memory Box Heart Chain Border die.
