Hello folks!I hope this Wednesday finds you well - I know for the friends back home in the UK they're enjoying what seems to be quite a bit of snow. Honestly, it's hard to feel excited for their enthusiasm - I'm sick of the white stuff here - it just keeps coming and coming!!!
Well, today I have the second card from my trio of cards for my upcoming class at Heather's. I created the 'z' fold card and went with a very classy valentine card - perfect I think for the men! And talking of men, my lucky hubby gets to go to Paris next week on business! How I wish I had family close by so I could leave the boys and join Sean on a 4 day trip!! I have been to Paris before but not with my husband - how nice would that have been!
I decided to use black - I don't often use it but I wanted to heat emboss this gorgeous Penny Black image. I used Platinum embossing powder on this. The back panel is embossed with the hearts cuttlebug folder. On the image I cut out the two little hearts and placed a piece of red cardstock behind to make them pop out - I think it worked!! The bow is a double bow using my Bow-Easy - love that tool!! For the class I will be doing one thing different - instead of a half-circle at the top I will use a nesties heart with an eyelet to hold the front panel of the card up. As I don't have this set I couldn't make it at home but I will use Heather's from the store to complete the card. Maybe I'll have to add that to my ever-growing wish list, hee hee!!
Thanks for stopping by again today - I love your visits. And I thank you for any comments that you may leave - your input and support means the world to me!
Hugs,

This card is very good. I am new in cardmaking and I still have not an idea what way can you get this great effect called embossing but I love it so much and I wish I could learn how to do it )))) but it is impossible I think..
This is gorgeous danielle, so classy!
Love the colours and stunning embossing!

Wow....this card has such a romantic feel to it! I love the embossing! Very tricky to do, as I always seem to smudge it a little!Will this card find it's way into hubby's going away bag! Thank-you so much for sharing this really unique card...I must start thinking Valentines!
I am sick of the white stuff too!
Maybe we should have a countdown to Spring on the blogs!!!! If we just make spring cards, maybe mother nature will get the hint!
LOL
