On to my cards...

For this first card, I decided to try a resist technique that Nichole Heady demo'd on her blog last week.  I can't decide if I like this card or not. 

 

I stamped the background words in chocolate ink, and then I stamped the flowers and leaves with clear in and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then I inked around the flowers and leaves with raspberry and red ink.  

I really like this next card...  Just a fun little valentine.

  

The background dots are a Stampin Up stamp stamped in pink and heat embossed with some glittery embossing powder.

 

I had the chipboard brackets in a stash - just added some pink stickles.  And I cut the letter "U" with a sizzix die, and added some little gems.  The felt heart was also in my stash.

I used the Nestabilities Labels One dies and sewed some ribbon ruffle at the bottom.

Please head over to the other Design Team members blogs - they had some beautiful creations to share with you:
