LOVE

 Hello there!  I've had so much fun making this mixed media type Valentine.  I was really inspired by a video that Nine - Marie Trapani did that featured a foiling technique using embossing folders.  So, of course I had to try it.  Basically, it's a distressed foiling technique -so cool!!  And it was addicting, so you'll be seeing more backgrounds with that technique coming soon :-) You can check it out here.  She explains it better than I would -LOL!! 


It's hard to see in the photo but the embossed hearts are foiled using this distressed technique!

Supplies:
Distress Oxide - Lost Shadow, Salvaged Patina, Lumberjack Plaid
Distress Spray Stain - Lost Shadow
Distress Spritz - Salvaged Patina
Distress Mica Stain - Yuletide
Archival - Salvaged Patina
Tim Holtz - Love Notes stamps
The Paper Studio - Doodle Hearts embossing folder
red foil
red glitter cardstock
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Shadow Upper dies
Distress embossing glaze - Salvaged Patina, Lumberjack Plaid
Distress embossing ink
Distress Crayons - Salvaged Patina
ThermOWeb - 3D foam tape
Cricut cartridge - Valentine's Day - cherub @ 2 1/2"

I think that is the most Distress products I've used on one card...LOL!  Love it!  It was so much fun!  Serious playtime!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!  Happy Valentines DAy!
