Little Black Valentine


You know, kind of like a LBD or Little Black Dress?  I am playing along with a color challenge and decided that using black for the predominant color would not be such a bad thing and I love how this Valentine turned out!



I started out with solid black cardstock that is pressure embossed with Sizzix Hearts and Dots embossing folder.  Three small hearts were die cut from my very old but well-loved Quickutz Mini Hearts.  The two plain hearts were then pressure embossed with Quickutz Goosebumps Hearts.  The Goosebumps designs are tiny and perfect for small die cuts.  A strip of plain white cardstock is edged in Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy, which is also used to stamp a very old (2004) Studio G stamp by Lynette Anderson.  An easy peasy, quick Valentine ready to go in the mail!

I would like to play along with the following challenges:
