Chalked Emboss Valentine by Judy Jackson

Happy Monday from Judy Jackson!

We have snow on the ground in southern Pennsylvania and my grandchildren were so excited! They had a great time out in the snow. But everywhere you look in store you see signs of February and Valentine's Day! So it isn't too early to share a Valentine for your Monday inspiration.

I used the Chalked Emboss technique from the December/January Newsletter and then spritzed it with glimmer spray! I also used the Antique Glimmer technique on the tag! I used a movers and shapers die to cut out the Cupid. Cupid, the banner, and the tag are all adhered with foam dots. I sponged the edges of Cupid with black so he showed up against the red of the embossed layer. I added a few ribbons, and it was done!

Stamp credits go to Stampers Anonymous and Stampin' up!

The Chalked Emboss technique is such a fun technique -- and it gives such interesting results! Have you tried it yet? I am going to use it on some other Valentine's I need to make -- and I will share some of those with you!

Happy Stamping!

Judy Jackson

The stamps are from Mark's Finest and 

the embossing folder is one from the Tim Holtz collection.

These kind of cards can be used for all kinds of

occasions for your girl friends.

The technique on this card is called 

Chalked Emboss and you can find the instructions

for this in the latest newsletter

It is always a good feeling when I can use one

of the buttons from my collection.
