Wow Carol two beautiful cards. How much stamping did you do on that first one. I have all those flowers and love what you have done. How much masking and fussy cutting. Worth it of course cause its perfect.

Petra Swart said...

Both these cards are simply stunning and for sure wonderfully bold and dramatic, Carol!!!! I really like the floral paper you've used on the first card and the bg stamp you used on the heart of the second card is fabulous!!!!! Two great Valentine's cards, my friend!!!
Have a great day!!!

Hi again, Carol!!!! I've had a look again and I see that it's not patterned paper on the first card, it's a bg stamp you used!!!! It's really beautiful!!!!

Carole said...

Two brilliant cards Carol...and why have I never thought about embossing plain die cut hearts I ask myself. Thank you for that inspiration, seems like I should start a note book of inspiration!! Hugs xx

Gorgeous cards! I love both of those pretty backgrounds, and the 'love' word die! The Summer Flower Pops Background looks fabulous as is, and would also be so fun to color!

I keep coming back to look at your marbled heart - it's so gorgeous! I never would have thought to use the red and black with that stamp - but now I can't stop thinking of similar combinations - green/black - for St. Patrick's day to start!

So pretty!Like the red and black.

Alanna said...

Beautiful. These are both so striking and the CAS nature is right up my alley.

Beautiful cards! I love how you've used the background stamps to really highlight the large hearts in two very different ways.
