Love in Blue

Decided to try another CASology challenge--this time the word is Blue.  I also wanted to play along with A Blog Named Hero to use an old stamp since I have many old Hero Arts stamps--this solid heart being one of the oldest.  I don't make many 1 layer cards & maybe it helped that I really wasn't thinking about it this time.  My sister's favorite color is blue, so I knew I wanted to make her Valentine.  I used the kissing technique by inking the heart in Memento Nautical Blue (covered the solid stamp easily without putting down a layer of Watermark ink!), pressing it onto the Classic Fabric Design & then onto the card that I had already scored.  "Love" is from another old HA set that has 4 little word stamps & I used the same ink. Finished it with a single tiny gem.  I love how this came out, as in real life the heart looks textured & the blue is a gorgeous, rich shade I didn't capture well in the picture.  Think I'll make some more in different colors.  Thanks for coming by & leaving me a comment.  

Time to get ready for the championship football games--yes, I'm a fan, not just hubby!  I grew up going to sporting events from a young age with my dad who was a radio sportscaster, so guess it's in my blood.  Good thing I can watch it in my living room as my cold is in full force & I look terrible!

  2. Ooooh, Greta! The kissing technique using the Classic Fabric Design stamp was brilliant! It adds so much dimension to this beautiful one-layer card (and so do the dry embossed lines). Thanks for playing along at CASology this week!

  12. Hi, Greta! This is simply a beautiful CAS card. I love the richness and texture of your kissed heart. And it would totally make a great card set if you do it in different colors.
    That must've been so cool growing up with a father as a radio sportscaster. I'm happy to see the niners make it to the Super Bowl as my family have been fans for the longest. I apologize for not commenting for so long, but will try to comment more often from now on. I hope you feel better soon. Take care!

    Hugs,
    Nona
