A big congrats to Kathleen, the newest Featured Stamper! What a wonderful gallery she has & I chose THIS card of hers to case. I was really struck by the die cut word LOVE so I kept that & the red/white Valentine colors. I used a different greeting, different die cuts & different papers.
For my die cut LOVE, I used the LVE letters from a Spellbinders set & the heart shape from the ODBD Ornate Hearts die set. Since they are individual letters, I cut them one at a time so I could place them closer together & I tilted the heart because I liked it better. The letters showed up better against the dk red bg instead of the print, but I added a stamped heart bg using white ink behind the heart shape. The greeting was split & I left out the center word “love” to be replaced by the die cut “love”. The border is one of the Beautiful Border dies threaded w/ a very thin strip of white card stock & turned upside down because I didn’t have room for the rest of it.
Congrats again, Kathleen! It's just been posted on my blog: The Write Stuff
