Once again, two very similar Valentines. The only difference is the layout. Both were made using the exact same red cardstock, but the scans make them look different colors. There are layers of gold foil Christmas wrap leftovers, and layers of velvety textured paper in shades of red. The sentimants are actually
stickers. The hearts were made using a piece of that rubbery type shelf liner for kitchen shelves (also the same stuff is sold to keep throw rugs from slipping). The shelf liner was inked with several shades of red, pink, gold and silver and gently heat set with a tad of clear embossing powder. This stuff is fun to work with, as it melts easily and can be shaped and can also give you a good burn when you are trying to shape a melted piece, lol.
