Valentine Sweets

I hope you have some plans for you and your sweetie this Valentine's Day! We usually wait until the weekend and then have dinner together at our favorite restaurant.

This card features the new XOXO stamp set form Pretty Pink Posh! I love all the sweets and treats that make up the letters.

I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored the images with Copic Markers.

I like to arrange images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card front before I commit and adhere them in place. The plastic allows me to pick up the entire arrangement and layer it over different colored backgrounds to find the one that I like best.

I decided on a simple baby pink and blue background of stripes. This die is in the Stitched Borders 3 set. Wax paper between the die and your cardstock help to remove it from the stitching on the design. I have more than one set so I can cut several at a time. They stack together so SMOOTH!

I'm linking up to Cut it Up Challenge where they're asking us to "Have a Heart" I hope you find some time to play!
