I’m in Valentine card making mode, so this idea was already formulating before I saw today’s Tic Tac Toe challenge.

Valentine Love on a String

You can see I chose the bottom row across, Sparkle, Love, Free.

What is very difficult to see, is the sparkle. Because of this challenge, I used Wink of Stella on all of the little raised “Hearts” from the embossed Falling Petals folder. I managed to capture a bit of it when holding the card at this angle. It adds a lot, especially in person.

I began by stamping the hearts (Sure Do Love You stamp set) with Real Red Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. I don’t know how it occurred to me to hang them on a string, but I accomplished this by punching tiny holes and using Linen Thread.

I decided the card base would be Crumb Cake, layered with Cherry Cobbler to match the hearts.

Very Vanilla cardstock would make a nice background for the hearts. Before embossing it, I randomly stamped it with “Love” in Sahara Sand Ink from the Weather Together stamp set.

I “sure do love” all of these sparkly hearts. Have a wonderful day!
