Valentine's Day will be coming around the bend soon, so I have to start thinking about making a few love cards to have ready on hand. Went through my stamps and pulled out a few stamp sets that could be appropriate for the occasion. I ended up using one of my favorites that I still pull out every year, P.S. I Love You. This time, I paired it with a set from last year called You Plus Me, which includes the word "Cupid" in a cute script font, that was perfect to pair with the Cupid image.
My starting point was the beautiful and appropriate colour combo from ColourQ #323, paired with the Mojo Monday Sketch #429. As I was pulling out items working on my card, I remembered the heart-shaped sequins from the In Color pack, which color matched my combo closely enough to work, so I decided to make a shaker card. The top part of the shaker gave me grief, as I tried a few combo and sizes before finding something I liked. I finally settled on Pool Party Core'dinations cardstock for a little texture and added little hearts stamped with the You Plus Me set.
The Large Polka Dot embossing folder (annual catalogue, p. 174) was used on the card background. A line of rhinestones from the Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack was used to add around the shaker frame. Having those lines really come in handy, as adding rhinestones one by one would be painfully long!
