I brought out an old Running Rhino Design for Uptown Rubber Stamps to make this Valentine. I colored the image with Copics, staying close the colors on the stamp label. It was easier having the colors already decided, and these earthy, rich colors are immensely appealing to me. The mats were cut free-hand, roughly following the lines of the image. I glued the white and Curry mats together before I embossed them in the Cuttlebug. I stamped the image a second time and colored just the heart, cut it out and popped it up on foam mounting tape.

WOW! This is an eye-catching beauty! A total pick-me-up kind of card. A person couldn't help but feel just a little better about life after receiving a cheery card like this...

Wow, this really just called me. And it's even prettier up close! Leslie, I love the rich coloring - what a great stamp. The red in the paper and rhinestones just finish it off! TFS!
