I created this pretty panel with a 3D heart embossing folder, using light pink cardstock. Then I spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine called "Primrose." The spritzing definitely helped to create more definition of the 3D heart pattern.
In fact, I thought it had enough going for it that it really didn't need anything else. I matted it with black, adhered it to a white 4" X 5 1/4" panel and put the whole shebang onto a black cardbase.
The sentiment was stamped, die-cut and popped up on foam tape.
I love the different dimensions of the hearts. I also loved the shades of color that the Color Shine spritz added. Besides that, it's just plain fun to "spritz!"
The sentiment on the inside was stamped. I thought this particular sentiment would work for a love partner, a friend, or even a son or daughter.
We probably all have a "You are the best!" sentiment in our collection of stamps, so think about using it for Valentine cards.
My crafting space now looks like a Valentine tsunami came roaring in unexpectedly. I barely have a 6" square space on my counter in which to put together my cards. I have gotten all my Valentines done for the grands, and am currently working on more for other family members--while still making cards for the thrift store. It's a busy time, but lots of fun. I am truly thankful I can spend 2-3 hours each day making cards. It's my therapy!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

That 3-D embossing is gorgeous. You are right it is beautiful enough to stand alone. I like the inside sentiment. I never thought of that one. I'll have to look for a you are the best stamp.
A very cool valentine, Cheryl! Great embossing folder. How nice that you have time every day to create!
I think the card is perfect the embossing folder spritzed makes it totally a Valentine. Love the inside sentiment - going to look and see if I have something like that now.
