You Make My Heart Smile!
Here’s another Valentine, inspired by this week’s color challenge at SCS. The CC205 challenge is to use Kiwi Kiss, Perfect Plum, and Pirouette Pink.
The ‘3 Flower Heart’ was stamped twice with Ranger Distress Emboss Ink, and embossed gold. Both images were colored with Copic Markers, before cutting out & layering. The pink layer was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, before brayering the raised areas with embossing ink. 
Next, the inked areas were dusted with Heat & Stick powder & heated just to melt. Last, the melted glue was dusted with pink glitter to create the glitzy background. Tex’s Tip: Whenever I glitter an area atop melted powder glue, I briefly heat set with a quick use of my heat tool. This sets the glitter on, so it stays on the project!
Inside, I’ve used similar basic layers as well as continued the border punches before stamping the sentiment. There’s still plenty of room for a personal message! Here’s to your own heart smiles today!

So many stamps, so little time. I LOVE INKA and the DT’s are soooo good that I have trouble re-focusing and actually making cards. MUCH talent. Thanks for all your inspiration. j
