I made a Valentine this morning for the Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #37 found here. Geri's challenge this week is to use embossing on our cards. I used dry embossing along with heat embossing for this one. I couldn't get a good photo of this card because I used some silver metallic cardstock and no matter how I positioned the card or the light, the reflection blurred the card every time. I decided to use natural daylight to avoid that glare, but guess what? It's snowing here in PA today, so this is the best I can do! LOL I used the SU! square lattice ef for embossing, along with the SU!Polka Dot Punches heart, which was embossed with silver ep. I used a piece of silk ribbon beneath the hearts and I really wanted to make a big bow, but it drowned out the hearts, so I left it as is. Because it's flat, this card won't need extra postage for mailing and I like that! I used an EK punch for the border on the silver panel and a Spellbinders die for the SU! sentiment. Pink, Red, and Silver.......I'm kind of liking this color combination!Have a great weekend, stay warm, and thanks for stopping by. I might have more later since it's a stay-in kind of day.

Oh Carol....girl this is amazing! I love how you used the metallic cardstock on this and all the little details! I bought a bunch of that metallic paper when i was back in PA at L&L so I have it. I love the look of it on cards. I got quite a few Christmas cards made with it and it packed such a punch! Your card is the same!
More snow, huh? Calling for it here tomorrow & Monday but we'll see but it's always good to stay in and stamp tho, right??
