When I Followed My Heart...

This week's Stamp Simply Challenge (ssnotime124) Bleeding Hearts: "With Valentine's Day just around the corner and fun little projects needing to be made, this theme was selected with Valentines in mind; however, your project need NOT be a Valentine -- whatever you need works. Our Bleeding Hearts challenges calls for us to use the color *RED* and a *HEART* in our project."

I decided to create a Valentine for my love...

What a special sentiment! It's from JustRite's new "Romantic Sentiments Set." It's available for purchase from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx ink...my favorite for sentiments! Versafine is also great for watercoloring, but should not be used with Copic markers.

Take a closeup look at some of the new Ultra Fine Flower Soft! This color is "Strawberry," and adds a marvelous fine texture...it gives almost a flocked look! One of my favorite uses for Flower Soft is for edging, and the new Ultra Fine works wonderfully! The new Ultra Fine Flower Soft will be available February 1st!

The decorator paper used here is Making Memories "Stardust Hearts Red," purchased for me by my Valentine--what a sweetie!

Spellbinders Hearts, Scalloped Hearts, Round and Scalloped Round dies were used for this project. An unknown satin white ribbon ties this design together!

Check out the rest of the Stamp Simply DT designs...I'm wondering what "Bleeding Hearts" we will see today!!!
