Branches of Love

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well.  Sorry for my absence, I took a much needed break, but ready to get back at crafting once again.

Today I have a  valentine card to share - one of two requested by a friend.  

Dies and stamp sets are from PTI - Ink to Paper - Border bling: Tin stitched die and Branches of Love, stamp and matching die set.



To stamp the branches, I die cut it first, then placed the branch back into the negative piece, put it in my misti, then lined up the branch stamp over top.  The branch was stamped in PTI olive twist.  For the flower pot, I did the same, and used Altenew Limestone - very lightly on the first layer, the a bit heavier on the second stamp (the pot is a two step stamp set).

Background in pink is using the Border Bling die.  I also cut a white piece that fits over the center portion of the border bling die using MFT stitched rectangle.  I added some dimension behind the flower pot but adhered the branch flat to the card.  Die cut a variety of pink/red hearts and added them here and there.  

Stamped Penny black sentiment ' just for you' using black versafine.  Added some clear sequins to finish this off, as well as nuvo clear glitter pen which was applied to the hearts for some shimmer. 

I"ll be back later in the week to share the other valentine card.

As always I appreciate you stopping by.  Take care, stay safe,

Pauline

You have the best stamps and dies, Pauline. I should just buy what you buy and then I'd have a collection I'm happy with. This is utterly fantastic! I love the vase with branch and hanging hearts, love the background. This is just so perfect for when you don't want to send a mushy Valentine. Gosh, I love it! It's so nice to see you today!

We all need a break at times, glad you are back though. This is darling Valentine. I like the textured background and those tiny hearts are too cute.

This is such a lovely Valentine card, Pauline! I love the heart branches in the pot, and the frame you used is perfect for it.
