You're the winner of this set of Love themed sentiments I didn't release in time for the hop so you're the first to get these in your collection😉

 

 

Please send me a message to claim your prize before March 8 and here's your brag badge for your blog😉  Please link it up to the hop post HERE!

 

 Today I'm sharing the Valentine slimline card I made for my hubby featuring the Heart Balloons from the Romeo Balleigh Monster set, Scratch Hearts background and the "Hugs and Kisses" senti from the Valentine Senties set not yet released.

 

 

 I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to print and fussy cut out the Heart Balloons and "Hugs and Kisses" sentiment.

 

 

I also cut a mat layer which I coloured with Midas gold Spectrum Noir pigment ink and then mounted the images to the mat with black foam tape.

 

 

 I made the scrumptious mixed media Scratch Heart background with Distress Oxide Sprays in shades of red and pink and applied the same gold pigment ink to the edges of the slimline panel.  I coloured the Heart Balloons with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and added pretty sparkle to them with a clear Spectrum Noir sparkle glitter pen....the shimmer is so pretty in real life! 

 

I completed my Valentine card by mounting the panel with black foam tape onto a slimline card I made from heavy weight black cardstock.  I'm pleased with the fun dimensional bold look of the finished card😁

 

 

Thanks for stopping by to see today's featured make!

Stay tuned for my Spring Release!

Happy Creating!
