This week I am back with a Valentine’s Day card and a fun event! I will be posting a video each day until Friday featuring Penny Black stamps!

And each card will be designed so that it can be used for Valentine’s day.

So here is the first card. This stamp is so beautiful that I just had to keep it clean and simple.

Is is an easy card to make but I just love the ombre background effect and the sparkling heart!

For the heart I used “glass beads” that give a beautiful texture and lots of sparkle!

  1. have you ever tried Distress Blending on watercolor paper? in my opinion this works far better than on the Neenah … I use the Canson Montval paper and I am totally happy with the results and I have the feeling that I use less ink as well – so it’s a win/win :o)

  2. Wow! This is beautiful! I am in love with that stamp set and that glass bead paste! Both are so pretty! Love the colors you used on the card as well and it was a fantastic idea to cut out the heart and use the paste! It’s so sparkly! PS: I stopped over at Penny Black on Facebook and said Hello 🙂 Thanks for sending me over!

  3. Gorgeous card Vicki! I love using glass beads. I have the loose ones that I sprinkle into Glossy Accent. I’ve never seen the ones mixed in medium!

  4. LOVE your glass bead glitter gel project!! Have never used this product and it looks gorgeous on your lovely valentine’s day card, Vicky. Thank you for the inspiration!! <3

  5. LOVELY card! Thank you for all the tips and tricks as well! I am always amazed by your blending of Distress Inks. Thanks for teaching the technique! I just bought Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel but didn’t know what to do with it! Vicky to the rescue again! Thanks for all that you share!

    THANK YOU for sharing … … heading off to learn more about the glass bead glitter gel now, it is magical how it picks up the colour from your background – WOW 🙂

  12. Wow Vicky, what a stunning card! First of all, thank you for sharing the glass bead paste…I’m going to have to snag some of that as soon as it’s back in stock! Second, the ombre background on this card is simply amazing!

  15. Wow, Vicky. Those glass beads are just gorgeous. I was able to see the texture, and imagine how it feels. Amazing job. The card is perfect. Love that stamp set, too. ???

  16. I Love, Love, Love this card. Just gorgeous. I watched your video and was inspired to do the ombre colors, I didn’t have worn lipstick so used festive berries instead. Made a heart and then used bead glitter. Thanks!
