• Sweet Tilda gracing my Valentine card today!
• The sentiment “Dear to my heart” is another awesome stamp from Printworks.  I inked it with Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored in the heart with R29 and R59 copics.
• Tilda is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.
• The dot pattern paper is from Sweetwater.
• Just HAD to use my new Martha Stewart punches…love this sweetheart around the page set…although,  you do want to watch it carefully if you want it to look straight on your card…ack…don’t look so close! lol
• The key hole heart and key are new from Martha also.  I punched four of each and layered them together so they look like chipboard…
• The ribbon is from my collection.
• The embossed heart is from a folder that came with my Cuttlebug.
• I stamped the background, the heart border background, the heart lock and key all with Stampin Up’s Sanded background stamp…another stamp that just hangs out on my desk cuz I NEED it all the time! lol
• Everything is edged, aged with Ranger,  Nick Bantock , Van Dyke brown ink.

The ice is gone off the trees here.  Whew  – after three days of ice and electricity on and off,  I’m delighted that it warmed up and melted.  The trees look really barren now! Happy Weekend!

Love this new paper by My Minds Eye…just perfect for this Tilda with a Tag…course the love affair with tags started years ago, oh yes, and that includes brown ink too! hehe Lots of “love” going on!  I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my copic sketch markers.  I will list them.   E000, 00, 01, 02, 07, 50   R000, 00, 01, 02, 05, 08, 17  YR21, 24, 31  Y21, 23, 28

My card base – 5.5 in. square, is Bazzill textured card-stock,  scored with my scor-it board.  7Kids has an amazing price on these right now….pink even!  Expected to ship this month.

Do you LOVE the sentiment stamps I used?  I DO!  Printworks Collection has more sentiment stamps than any company I know!  Very fun and unusual ones too!  I listed the links to them below…

• D2877 What Would I do
• B3214 Favorite Friend (this is all on the stamp,  no label)
• A3206 Love You ( I just inked up the Love)
• C2564 My Funny Valentine

This Martha Stewart border punch, scallop dot edge,  sure mimicked the pattern paper well I thought. Pulled out a Spellbinders border to try too!  Spellbinders Square nestabilities on the inside…. I like to use Versafine Onyx black ink for stamping the sentiment stamps…love how it stamps!  I made this little green banner for the front and then decided it didn’t really work with Tilda,  finished the inside of the card and then decided I could stick it here just to show you what a fun stamp it is! lol

Tomorrow is my first card for La La Land Crafts.  It’s blog hop day for the new release!  Hope to see you then…there will be a new stamp looking for a new home!!!!
