Hello and welcome. When I found this black & white heart paper in my stash, I thought it would be perfect for the 2 masculine cards I needed. Dies used for the center sentiment piece are Die-namics stitched squares, sentiment was printed on the computer with clip art hearts added. Before cutting the strips, I dry embossed white cs then used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to get kind of brushed look. However, I also cut strips from the non-embossed and decided I liked those better but now on the picture I see I used 2 of each. Guess that just adds a little more interest, right?
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

This is a wonderful masculine valentine. You lined up your embossed and flat strips perfectly and it adds texture and interest. It looks perfectly planned. Great job on this Gerry!
