Do you have a stamp (or alot of stamps... tee hee!) that you really, really, really love? I know I do and one of them is this damask stamp from the Stampin Up! set Bliss. It is one of those stamps that I could use over and over and never get tired of. It is just a timeless, classic image. When I saw Chupa's sketch and how it had a design in the lower lefthand corner I immediately thought of that stamp. I paired it with some Verve stamps that have a more modern feel to them. Verve was one of the first stamp companies that I started buying from when I found the online world of stamping, but then other companies caught my fancy and I stopped buying Verve stamps. Recently, I started taking a look at Verve, again, and I really liked what I saw so when they had their Black Friday sale I took advantage of their specials and bought a few sets including one called No Matter What, a fun Valentine's Day set. The hearts image and the sentiment were stamped with Rose Red ink and then a second heart was stamped with Pink Pirouette, trimmed out and adhered to the Rose Red image. A bit of Diamond Stickles was brushed on the pink heart for some added shimmer. To break up all the white I matted the circle with black cardstock and then finished things off with a few clear gems. I have been putting together a box of cards for Operation Write Home and right now they are looking for Valentine's Day cards, so this one will go in the box to OWH.Thanks for stopping by.....
