Hello everyone, it's time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this time our optional theme is Embossing (Heat or Dry) selected by Val. Prizes come from Lisa Horton and you have about two weeks to join us! If embossing isn't for you then there is always the "Anything Goes" option and we love to see those too!
Here is what I made very fitting for today's Valentine's Day :)
I made a CAS card using Lavinia Stamps Swans along with a sentiment by Penny
Black Dream.Love.Sentiments and a die cut heart also by Penny Black. For embossing I chose dry
embossing using an old Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used red cardstock from Stampin Up for
the card base.
