Scrolly Heart Valentine

Donna Phelan back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog,
sharing an easy Valentine with you!

 

I used the inlaid die technique and you can really see the detail

in this gorgeous Tutti Designs Scrolly Heart die....it POPS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cut the beautiful and detailed Tutti Designs Scrolly Heart from White card stock.  Then I placed it back in to the panel for that inlaid look.  I also backed it with a pretty Pink card stock, in this way all of the details are easily seen....soooooooo pretty!

 

 

 

 

 

I then cut out the Penny Black Heart String die in a deep Pink
and draped it over the top focal panel. 

 

Sentiment stamped in Melon Mambo ink.  Adhesive Pearls and sheer Ribbon for accents. 

Valentine Designer Paper from my stash. 

 

Oooh La La Love Is In The Air.

 

Here's what I used:
