This week I am back with a Valentine’s Day card and a fun event! I will be posting a video each day until Friday featuring Penny Black stamps!
And each card will be designed so that it can be used for Valentine’s day.
So here is the first card. This stamp is so beautiful that I just had to keep it clean and simple.
Is is an easy card to make but I just love the ombre background effect and the sparkling heart!
For the heart I used “glass beads” that give a beautiful texture and lots of sparkle!
You can enjoy a how-to video below or at my YouTube channel

have you ever tried Distress Blending on watercolor paper? in my opinion this works far better than on the Neenah … I use the Canson Montval paper and I am totally happy with the results and I have the feeling that I use less ink as well – so it’s a win/win :o)
Beautiful card! excited to see the rest of the week.
Such a lovely card, thanks for sharing!
Great video and love your distressing technique. Thanks for the giveaway
Just beautiful, Vicky!
Wow! This is beautiful! I am in love with that stamp set and that glass bead paste! Both are so pretty! Love the colors you used on the card as well and it was a fantastic idea to cut out the heart and use the paste! It’s so sparkly! PS: I stopped over at Penny Black on Facebook and said Hello 🙂 Thanks for sending me over!
Gorgeous card Vicki! I love using glass beads. I have the loose ones that I sprinkle into Glossy Accent. I’ve never seen the ones mixed in medium!
