I know it’s a month and a half before Valentines Day, but I’m determined to be prepared!! For my card today I’m using a very elegant Penny Black stamp called Love is the Message – it’s just one of the nifty stash of Valentines Day stamps over at Stamper’s Dream. The stamp is mostly solid – I love this – so no coloring today. I actually stamped and clear embossed with black Versafine ink then stamped and clear embossed another image with Adirondack Fired Brick Red distress ink. For the second image I cut it out and popped it up to give a little dimension. Can you just imagine that stamp embossed with gold?
For the framing embellishment I used Spellbinders™ In Spades Pendant which I cut in half and used on each corner. I also used the small companion pieces on the corners of my top stamped panel. The loops from the edges of the die template are a mighty convenient place for some ribbon. After a bow in the corner, I sprinkled with tiny pearls. For the sentiment I lopped off the end of a Spellbinders™ Double Ended Tag.

Lovely card! How you know what Spellbinders die cuts to use is just amazing. Thanks to you I have added so many new ones to my inventory. Also I had just ordered this stamp and although I couldn’t visualize the presentation of it, you have given me so much inspiration. tku!
How beautiful! Who wouldn’t love to get a valentine like this.
This is gorgeous!

Another stunning card! Looks complicated with the ribbon treatment but I love what you are doing with it and the Spellbinder dies.Thanks for sharing……
Absolutely Stunning!
Gorgeous card! You are so amazing.
Gorgeously stunning – as usual! I love the spellbinders pieces peeking out with the ribbon treatment.
Becca,
You never cease to amaze me. What a delight to open your e-mails and then have your socks knocked off by your beautiful creations. God wants us to share our talents with each other and I am so glad you do! I have not found anyone that equals your talent. Thank you for giving us such wonderful inspiration. Have a blessed and healthy 2010. Thank you, < Jeanne
MMMMM! Gorgeous as usual Becca!
i love this card! but when i went to the website to check out the heart stamp and saw that it is 3 1/4″ x 4″ all by itself, i realized that your card is WAY larger than what i normally produce!
would it be possible for you to add the finished dimensions of your cards when you list the directions or “ingredients”? that would make it much easier for me to know if it is one i might reproduce myself.

It is just so lovely. I love, love, love all the layers! Beautiful piece of art!

Hi Becca,

God given talent you have?! Reading all the

Thank you for that as well.

Wow! I just stumbled upon your blog today and I have spent the past hour or so looking back through all your old posts … you have an amazing talent!
Someone in the cricut messageboards indicated that you had an innovative idea for the 2×2 embossing folders for the cuttlebug (the circular embossing). That idea blew my mind so I had to look at the rest of your blog … wow is all I can say! I am almost speechless by some of the amazing work you have done!
What an inspiration you are!
Becca, this is gorgeous. Love the colors and everything about your card. I wish I was the recipient. (smile) Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
