This card was designed for The Card Concept #128 {Be Mine, Valentine} Challenge using some older SU stamps. I used the MISTI to stamp the three tiny tags at the same time (this was so helpful) and I may unmount the focal image stamp in the future so I can use the MISTI for that as well.
I created the background using the Smakin' Acetate technique with Real Red Classic Ink, added Frost White Shimmer Paint, Silver Metallic paint and embellishment mousse and a clear glitter pen for the die cuts in the corners- it is hard to see all of the sparkle on this card but it is there!!
I am planning on giving this to a sweet friend of my as a "Galentine" :-)
In addition to The Card Concept challenge, I linked this card to the Stamping Sensations "Feminine" Challenge, the Joy of Sets Tic-Tac-Toe #14 Challenge and the Tuesday Throwdown "Create Your Own Background" Challenge.
I am also linking to the following SCS Challenges:
SC52 Sketch Challenge- I still have a goal to try to create a card for each sketch challenge at SCS :-)
MSP30 MISTI Monday February Challenge- create a Galentine using your MISTI
USEIT2020 I have not inked up the LOVE image from Love is a Great Thing nor the Tiny Tags in ages plus first time using the flourish corner dies as well as the lace
AOCC20 This is one of my cards needed for February
WT778 "Sparkle" The shimmer paint, glitter pen, embellishment mousse and rhinestones all add shimmer to this card

Very vintage and beautiful looking. The shabby chic/vintage style is perfect with that old stamp which reminds me of the old printing fonts you could buy in markets.

Weren't there postage stamps that looked like your 'LOVE'? Just beautiful, I bet it's wonderful irl. So well thought out, all your little touches like the tags.

Gorgeous coloring on your letter stamps. Your extra care with your embellishments displays the extra care and delicate touch that you took. I can see that it not only displays the word love, but that it was MADE with love. Beautiful work!
