Sale-a-bration's Whimsical Words for PPA25
Today's project was created for the Pals Paper Arts Inspiration challenge this week. With Valentine's Day coming who wouldn't be inspired by this decadent piece of chocolate. I mean, really!
The card starts with a Very Vanilla base card 4 1/4"x 5 1/2". Every layer has a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock under it; I'm getting hungry just writing this. Have you ever noticed how many names of Stampin'Up! colors are names of food?? I'm digressing - The Real Red Layers were dry embossed with one of the Background Texture plates and the Big Shot. I then inked on VersaMark trying to keep as much off the card and on the raised texture as possible. I then embossed it with Clear Embossing powder. It gives it an interesting look, kind of like the shimmer on the chocolate.
The scallop was cut with the Scallop Circle #2 die. I just got it and I LOVE it!
The circle is a 3" circle cut with the Circle Scissor Plus. I have to say the more I use this tool, the more I like it. It frustrated me in the beginning but, I trust the products Stampin'Up! puts in their catalogs. Now, I can cut a quick, clean circle.
The sentiment is from the Whimsical Words Clear Mount stamp set in the Sale-a-bration catalog. It is also embossed with Clear Embossing powder over Chocolate Chip ink. I then punched it out with the Full Heart Punch. Perfect fit!
The final embellishments are the two 1/4" Sending Love Chocolate Chip brads. I love these new brads.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. Make sure to check out the other projects on the PPA website.
