Black, white, and gold are very trendy in the paper crafting world, so I thought it would be fun to use the supplies I had on hand to create this fun Valentine's Day card.
I started with a 5.5" x 4.25" Basic Black card base with a top fold and covered the front with some striped paper from the Stacked with Love DSP Stack (#137779). I tied on some Metallic Gold Baker's Twine (#132975) and tied it in the center.
To make the focal point of the card I die cut some Gold Glimmer Paper with the fourth largest heart in the Hearts Collection Framelits and then die cut the sentiment out of the center with a die from the Label Card Thinlits (#133479). I cut the sentiment again out of Whisper White cardstock and again from some Red Glimmer paper. I placed the white die cut words in the negative space of the heart and trimmed down the red heart so that it would be an exact match. I used dimensions on the top and bottom of the heart to raise it up above the twine and to hide the knot.
Finally, I punched several small hearts from gold foil cardstock using the small heart on the Owl Builder Punch and placed them randomly on the card front.
I still want to come back and tell you more about Orlando, but with Valentine's Day only a week away I wanted to get this card posted first.
