Simple Valentine for my hubby. Recently saw Jennifer MacGuire dry embossing with dies and wanted to give it a try. I used Hero Arts Infinity Heart dies. Wanted the sentiment strip to be black with white lettering, but my hand lettering is not attractive so I had to settle for a typewritten message instead which meant black on white (font: Avenir Black). It's ok, but black would have been better. Happy Stamping Everyone.

Very rich and luxurious looking. Dry embossing with dies is a technique I love, but I've never tried it with nesting dies like this.
P.s if you create a sentiment in a spreadsheet like Excel or Google sheets, you can type the sentiment in one cell, and choose white for the font colour and black for the fill. You might need to drag the height of the cell to make it a little deeper, and then centre the text horizontally. That's actually how I did the words on my rat card. With a laser printer, or a better inkjet than mine, it gives a great white on black finish.
