Simple Purple Valentine's Card


This week my friend Jessi created several cards using the color purple. Seeing all her posts (click here for my favorite) really inspired me to created this Simple Purple Valentine's Card. Purple is one of my favorite colors but for some reason it doesn't show up in my card creations very often. For this card I used the chevron heart stamp by Hero Arts. I stamped the heart onto a top note die cut and heat embossed it with two shades of purple. I used Zing! purple metallic and Stampendous! PEARLustre in Amethyst. I love the color intensity of a heat embossed image. Don't you? The purple patterned paper is DCWV, the XOXO sentiment is by Stampablities and the final touch are three small rhinestones by Recollections. This card came together quickly and was super easy to make. If you don't have heat embossing tools, simply stamping the image will work. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will visit again soon!

My Simple Purple Valentine's Card is entered into the following challenges:

    That is gorgeous! I love the multi-coloured embossing (they have amethyst pearlustre? Those are some of my faves...must find that one!). I'm just tickled that you were inspired by me! :)

    Love the colors. I think I must not be embossing things correctly because it never looks this pretty!
