This is a challenge I am doing with a few friends to create a Valentine with something we already own from the current catalog. I combined this with our weekly Doubledog Dare challenge this week hosted by Francie G. to use 3 shades of the same color.
I made my own designer paper by stamping (and stamping off) stamps from the Always set in Riding Hood Red and Pirouette Pink. I embossed the entire thing in clear embossing powder using the Floral background stamp. Bird was stamped in RHR and kissed with small flower stamp, masked off bird and stamped heart over top in pink. Adore sentiment was singled out from the Tres Chic background stamp in Ruby Red. Filigree brad for embellishing.

I saw this earlier and meant to comment on it and somehow navigated away without leaving my posting. I love the way you clear embossed a different design over the stamped background. I bet it is beautifully textured and shinny IRL! I have to try that technique. A lovely card!!
