From The Heart Valentine Card

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! The left side bar of this next Valentine card in my Mint Berry stash is a crazy departure for me with stamping reversed every other time! Look below to see this! The Paper Studio's Mint Berry paper pad from 2016 had 63 + 3 scraps remaining from the original 80 sheets (not even full-sized but 4.25" x 6.25") when I decided to pick this as my 2022 personal bash stash challenge.

More design notes:

A. The patterned cardstocks are from Mint Berry paper pad. The pink with white x design is being used for the first time in my 2022 bash stash challenge. This is the 3rd time that the peony/rose print has been used and the 3rd time too for the arrow point/chevron. 

B. From the Heart stamp (Sum More Fun; website/company closed)

C. black ink pad for stamping and for inking cardstock edges

D. embellishments of clear gems, silver and pink glitter foam heart stickers and the pink glitter love sticker are all from my stash

E. mid-gray cardstock (Art Skills/Crafter's Choice) and pink cardstock base (Astrobrights/Neenah)

F. dimensions are 4.25" wide and 5.5" high

    1. Maxine, thanks! I thought it would force the eye to really read the words and not just focus on the papers, even though they are pretty.
