I was finally able to make my 1st Valentine's Day card of 2011. I had a whole collection of them last year. Unfortunately, any I make will probably never see the mailbox as it is so late. But, it was fun making and will be ready for next year.
This card was based on the black and pink heart ribbon sent to me by Nancy Williams. I have wanted to use it for some time now. Thanks Nancy!
The b/g dsp is SU Patterns Love. The top portion is the script dsp, but may not be able to see in photo, and the bottom is another piece of the dsp. I used Nancy's ribbon in the middle and some SU black netting I've had and never used to drape both upper sides of the panel.
I stamped the hearts, 1st with versamark, then pretty in pink ink pad, then I sprinkled with heat & stick glue, used heat gun to make it sticky, then sprinkled with Iridescent Ice sparkles and used the heat gun on it again to make it adhere. It made the effect of each heart wet embossed and sparkly just in the stamped portions of the stamp. Then I used the SU heart punch, followed by the SU heart embosslit that fit perfectly b/hind the punch for a matting.
Punched a border, used the blossom nestie for the back mat, Circle Nestie for the mat b/hind the hearts which is the script dsp also, popped up hearts and nesties on dimensionals. Added Feb. 14th image with sparkle and added a pink heart to it.
Sorry for rambling. That's about it. Hope to make a few more Valentine's Day cards if I can.

Beautiful - you did that ribbon proud Fruitcake. Isn't it fun starting a card with one little thing like a ribbon. You make awesome Valentine's cards - I still have mine from last year (I think it was the only one I got - sad, but true). Love is your thing (oh, and crowns). Hope you are still enjoying your week as the Queen - I guess it isn't so bad that it is only a week since you will still be a Princess. Hugz to you my sweet friend! Oh, and 10 punchez is wonderful!

This is so pretty! I love the pink and black. Pretty fancy hearts - love how sparkly they are. That black ribbon with the hearts on it is gorgeous. Wonderful card.

Pamzi, Pamzi Pamzi...that lace. Uh...what is the deal? Did you get that from Faith? And did she get that as a gift form a rugged cowboy? Hmmm? Yes, the story spins! Fruitcake, you make the most feminine cards. I love this sweet layout and those wonderful nesties too! Now, go put sumthin' on for cryin' out loud and stay away from that closet door. Hugz......
