Timber!

I have LOTS to share with you today!  First, a project:  Last week I showed you a project I designed using the new Wood You Be Mine stamp set from the Occasion Catalogue.  Today I have another one for you :)

Valentine's card featuring the Wood You Be Mine stamp set

Fun, huh?  This one might just have to go to my DH this year.  To create the background layer I stamped the log image repeatedly all over a piece of Smoky Slate card stock using Versamark ink.  I then heat embossed in silver...I love the look of silver on Smoky Slate!  I layered the stamped background on a piece of Real Red card stock, which was then adhered to a Basic Gray card base.

The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink and then layered on a piece of Basic Gray card stock.  The axe is stamped in Memento Tuxdeo black ink, coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Smoky Slate Blendabilities, and then fussy cut and adhered to the sentiment panel.  I finished it off with a bit of silver baker's twine before adhering it to the card.

On the inside I stamped the log again using Smokey Slate ink, stamped off once.  The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink.

I love the way this turned out...can't wait to give it to my honey for Valentine's Day!
