Love without Words

Hi guys. Can you believe it's February already?!! Seriously, time seems to be passing by soooooooo fast these days!!! Wasn't it only yesterday that we were celebrating the New Year?!! Totally nuts!!!

Anyways, in true February fashion...I decided to make a card to go with the month's theme. LOVE. Of course, that meant getting out the red ink...and a valentine/heart stamp...

I'm trying to use up scraps -- and this card was perfect for that. Using a Clear stamp I borrow, I stamped the heart image multiple times onto a strip of white cardstock. Then I layered the strip onto some red cardstock to bring out the red a bit.

Finally, I embossed some white cardstock with a Sizzex embossing folder called "Flower Rings & Clusters set". I was really impressed with how the embossing folder showed -- very deep groves! There's definitely a difference in Cuttlebug folders and Sizzex folders -- although I still love my Cuttlebug and wouldn't trade it! :)

I adhered my stamped strip onto the embossed cardbase...and there's my card. :) Clean and Simple....and perfectly LOVE-ly. :)
