A Jillian Vance Design: YOU hold the Key to My Heart

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I wanted to make a sweet card...I showed my hubby, Sam, said "Here is your Valentine!"...then I will add it to our sample boards!

I wanted to create a soft background but also use Sentimental Script Background Builder Stamp, that stamp means a lot to us as my dad's aunt wrote the poem and we were given permission by her daughter to use it as a stamp, this is in Aunt Winnie's original handwriting as we got the ORIGINAL poem draft that her daughter Martha gave us! So it really IS sentimental script! I cut a Stitched Plaid Cover Plate to create a stencil, then used my Brushes (Picket Fence Studios carries them) and Catehrine Pooler Rockin Red ink to create that soft pattern. I then embossed using Wow Embossing Ink and Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder for my Sentimental Script background it shows up just enough to give a mysterious texture! I love the Wow Powders as they are fine enough, you can actually read this poem in person.

I stamped the Stitched Dot Heart using Scattered Snow Background Builder Stamp for a little texture using CP It's A Girl Ink. The Key to my Heart Stamp and Die Set was designed to work with our Stitched Dot Heart Die Set! Check it out, Key to my Heart Stamp and Die Set is HALF OFF right now!

The sentiment was stamped in CP Midnight Ink using a sentiment from Valentine's Day Stamp Set

Gold and Silver papers set off the lock and key! And there you have it a soft, pretty Valentine!
