I used the Letterpress for the white bg and used the Framelits border die. I used the SU! real red marker to accent the word LOVE from the Letterpress.
I shouild have used black embossing powder instead of Stazon Jet Black ink for the image. I will know better next time. I just don't get a real good black image for a silhouette with Stazon. Does anyone else have this problem too?
What do you think?

Love that lil silhouette, Les!! the perfect Valentine card with the letterpress - so the sandwich 'worked'??? Whew, was hoping for that! This looks good with the red on the word LOVE!!
Um, maybe the Stazon is getting dry and you need to get a refill???? maybe.......

Very sweet card and image Leslie. I do have that problem with Stazon - especialy if it has been awhile since I refilled the pad or if the stamp is clear. I think embossing would be the answer or use a Craft or other type of ink. YOu are doing good on the Valentines Cards. Hugz!

Aaaa my favorite color combination. The layered heart for the backdrop for this silhouette image is just fantastic. The cool scalloped border is superb!
