All Year Cheer with Sweet Talk

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 622 - Z Box Fold and last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 618 - A Very Basic Rose.  I loved last weeks colors but just could get inspired.  My MOJO gone bye bye lately but today a glimmer of hope arose and went to the Cave, LOL.  I used basic grey as my base layered with rose red and then vanilla card stock.  I stamped the hearts along the bottom in rose red then the sentiments in basic grey.  The sentiment on the inside is from All Year Cheer III and is stamped in rose red.  I cut out a heart from the vanilla layer then a smaller heart from that layer and popped the smallest one up on dimensionals.  I hope you like this fun yet simple valentine creation.

Sweet Talkin' Valentine Card

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 570 - Dry Embossing with Stencils, today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 361 - Sweet Treats, and today's MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 432. I am backing up a couple of weeks and using COLOR CHALLENGE # 565 - What's black and white and red all over? for my color combo.
I tried embossing with my cuttlebug and almost broke a plate and ruined my embossing folder that had 4 different patterns. I was able to save my heart section so I went to my light box. If a hidden camera was around it would be a riot. I have not used my night light in such a long time. It took me forever to remember what and how to dry emboss then I could not remember where my stylet tool was.

Awe finally it all came together. It was a site only my friends at SCS could appreciate. LOL. Now off to work.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Sweet Talk, All Year Cheer III 
Paper: white, real red, black 
Ink: Real Red

Sweet Talking Full of Love for You

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 575 where I took a small liberty changing the circle to a heart. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 565 - What's Black and White and Red all over?". How could I resist making a valentine card with these colors in this weeks challenge? Well I couldn't so I did. What I could do is figure out how to include the odd shape for Monday's TLC and white on white for the CAS challenge this week. LOL. So just 2 challenges for me today but I love how it turned out.
I dry embossed the Darice Hearts diagonal embossing folder on white and matted it on the white cs base then cut the heart from some real red cs. I popped up the black ribbon under the LOVE sentiment cut from black cs.

Hope you like it as much as I do. Have a fabulous day my stamping friends.

For the inside I stamped a sentiment from SU's Full of Life set using cherry cobbler ink and the envelope I stamped the solid heart in cherry cobbler then the open heart and sentiment in momento tuxedo black ink on the front left corner of my envelope.
