My card for you today is more of a general love themed card but could definitely be used for Valentines Day!!
Those cute critters, as well as the sentiment, come from the Furever Friends stamp set from My Favourite Things. This is an older set but is so adorable, I couldn't resist using it!! I created a cloudy background using Broken China Distress Ink and the Cloud Stencil (also, MFT). This ground portion was cut with a Stitched Hillside Borders Die and inked with Twisted Citron Distress Ink.
To incorporate more of a love theme, I used a heart die to cut the centre portion of the inked panel. This gave the card a lot more interest and dimension! I first adhered the focal panel directly to a white card base. I die cut the same heart die out of craft foam and pieced it into the opening. I prefer using craft foam over foam tape for this as it gives a solid backing with no gaps.
I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive on the top portions of the bears and bits of the same craft foam for the feet to match the height of the heart. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a white cardstock strip and glued that on top of the heart.
Definitely, a lot of "love" in this card but not limited to Valentines Day!!
