Tree bearing Hearts of Love...

Hello My dear stamper and crafter Friends;

All this week I have featured cards for Valentine's...so I will end the week with some more valentine's inspiration...with this tree bearing hearts of love!
This card is being featured at the Spanish blog for Memory Box: "A crear se dijo!"

love tree hearts front

I used a NEW embossing plate from Memory Box: "Bengal detail plate"
I sandwiched the plate with the tan pads and the cuttlebug plates...

TIP: spritz before the paper with water to get a deeper impression 
let dry,
then I sanded the paper to reveal more parts of the design...

note: these detail plates are the same as embossing folders...with the addition that they cut the edges for you...the traditional plastic embossing folders only emboss...you have to cut the paper to size...

love tree hearts step 1


Fact: did you know that nearly 190 millions cards are exchanged every year for this day?
that this tradition started in Englang?
and that teachers are the ones who receive the most valentine cards?

Thank you my friends for your visit 
and I wish you a wonderful week end!

    Hi Bibiana, Sure hope you are feeling much better today, and thanks for this inspirational & beautiful card. Appreciated the water spritz tip to get a better emboss. The pinks & white made such a pretty traditional Valentine card, and love the damask look on the embossed background. Love that wonderful tree die as well. Take care, TFS & Hugs - Happy valentine's day too.

    What a beautiful and sweet card here again Bibiana. I love the red and pink together, even I normally never would have chosen these together, but must admit, it looks a lot better, than I would´ve ever thought ha ha ha.

    Beautiful card, I also would generally not pair these colors together but you have once again demonstrated your ability to find the perfect match! I haven't tried any of the embossing plates yet, will have to look into those :-)
