This card started with beautiful Creative Imaginations paper. What is it they say on those decorating shows? Oh yeah, it was my "inspiration piece". I really liked it, but thought that it
would be difficult to use. I was wrong.
The silver foiled patterns reminded me of old fashioned Valentine cards and luxe fabrics. I was considering which materials would be simple and elegant--and an idea was born--velvet paper and metal! I just love both of these items and use them whenever possible.
Although I was concerned that the Dreamweaver paste might not work well on the velvet material, I discovered that I was, once again, very wrong. The silver paste worked like a dream! I used the Dreamweaver stencil LM 241, which reads "Happy Valentine's Day." I masked out the additional letters with Scotch removable tape and pasted as usual.
The metal is a Quickutz (Lifestyle Crafts) product. I used it in the Revolution machine, but I could have put it through any non-digital die cut machine. It was very easy. I put the stencil, Dreamweaver stencil LM 272 ( Dangling Heart) down, followed by the metal (face down), a rubber embossing mat and the blue plastic embossing mat. The metal is adhesive backed, so once it was embossed, assembly was a breeze. The Creative Imaginations paper is fancy and flourishy. It was easy to find a part of this paper that enhanced the elements that I used on it.
