Congratulations! Stamped and embossed with The Paper Loft Shades of Gray


I created this love/wedding themed card for a card swap.  I wanted to use a variety of techniques and textures.  I embossed the silver hearts and the silver sentiment.  The top note layer is stamped with a large stamp going "off the edge".  I used die cuts and fussy cuts generously inking all the edges for plenty of distress.



Ingredients:
The Paper Loft Shades of Gray: Silverplate and Snowfield
Mix'd Media Stormy ink
Versamark
Graphic 45 Triumphant red ink
CTMH Free Spirit stamp set
CTMH Just to say set
Viva decor/My Paper World "love" stamp
Ranger silver detail embossing powder
Misc heart stamp
SU Top Note die
QQ coal miner
misc fiber

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:










my large heart stamp is a few years old and the Love background stamp I purchased a while ago and had not yet used.


I thought you might be interested in the cards I received in the swap:


Thanks so much for stopping by today!
