Valentines

It's almost Valentine's Day, and I've been playing with some beautiful foiled paper

by Rinea. If you're not familiar with the product, it's either starstruck pattern or

double sided foiled paper and comes in a pack.

It embosses in a folder beautifully, and cuts easily in a die. The solid colors are

double sided and react with a pad they call 'Ghost Ink'. I found some very

helpful instruction on YouTube.

This card was cut with Memory Box: Ferrand Heart, a favorite from a few year's

back. The background is watercolored with a new paper from Poppystamps.

The second card uses Rinea papers too, the silver heart die cut & embossed, and

the red first stamped with ghost ink, then die cut. Also a watercolored background.

I couldn't wait to use this new product (new to me), and love it! I've already got plans

to make some Easter cards with some of the gorgeous colors they have.

Thanks for the visit, hope you enjoyed!

Bloom: Create Along With Us June '18

Create Along With Us: PTI's invitation to case their designer's ideas during

release week.

There's no end to special treats, from color combos to little touches of brilliance!

Melissa Phillips' cards caught my eye on the first day out, particularly this pastel bauble:

From her use of pearls and glitter paper to layers and layers of lovliness, I was hooked!

(get it? Hooked? Under the sea? LOL!)

Enough of me 'fishing' for laughs, here's my take on Melissa's sweet card.

A list of what I used is at the end of my post.

I LOVED using Perfect Pearls on my background, for a subtle texture. 

(Wish you could see the sheen from the pearls) 

And Melissa's idea of the Embossing Enamel was genius! In the air, as well as

under the sea!

Not having the undersea elements (yet!), I used flowers and hummingbird for my

color pop.
