Good Morning everyone, today im sharing a little fun valentine card.
Mostly inspired by the fun lightbulb stamp, as i very rarely do anything Valentine/Love themed - he will be surprised!. It came free with the most recent issue of craft stamper. I also tried to keep it fairly CAS - sat on my hands😄.
6x6 white linen cardbase. I first computer printed my sentiment onto the base. I then stamped the lightbulb direct onto the cardfront using a multicoloured ink pad in shades of orange/red. I then die cut a stitched square from white linen card, in the top left corner i die cut a stitched oval. I mounted the square onto the front with foam tape, i glued the oval back in flat to the base so its inverted.
I then stamped the bulb onto white linen with black ink & die cut into a smaller oval and i pushed this into the ink back to colour the background with the same ink as my stamped background. I stamped the light again in black and cut it out, gently shaped it and added over the top with glue gel. I then mounted this panel into the oval with foam tape. I added yellow marker to the hearts and covered in glossy accents.
Yellow glitter gems to finish.
A close up, you can see the reflection of the glaze i put on the bulb.

Brilliant valentine card, this really appeals to me love the humorous touch
What a great Valentine card, Emma! Although you’ve kept it fairly simply, you’ve not forgotten the little details like the glaze on the bulb...those little details that « illuminate » your cards! I’m sure your card was appreciated!
That's a nice idea for a Valentines card. Not slushy and mushy but still with meaning.
