Marvelo{us} Love + WOYWW

Hello! I have another example of Faux Enamel for you tonight and another pic of my desk for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday! :) (Click on the link for an explanation of how to do this technique.) This is another card I'll be giving my DH as part of my 14 Days of Valentines for him. :)

Here's my desk today (NO judging, LOL)~

Here's the card~

Details~

I'm really happy with how this turned out. I'm sure that my DH will love it...I'll have to make sure to give it to him far away from the last Faux Enamel card I made so that he won't realize how similar they are. ;)

I'd like to submit my work into the following challenges~

14 Days of Valentines & Technique Tuesday!

Hello! So, I've got a dilly of a card for you today! :) It's a Valentine! And I made it especially for a special reason! :) Okay, so I have a feeling I'll be making quite a few Valentines in the next few weeks, and I don't have too many people to give them to, so I'll be doing a 14 days of Valentines for my husband! Basically, I'll be giving him a Valentine a day until the actual day starting on February 1st. :)

So, here's one of them~

Details~

What do you think? I had a blast creating this one!!! I've used chipboard elements. But, I've done something a little different with them...I'll explain...

On the square piece, I added patterned paper over it, inked it up with Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with Kaleidoscope embossing powder. I did something similar with the heart--I just inked up the "naked" chipboard with Versamark and then embossed it in gold, then inked it again with Versamark and then embossed it with Kaleidoscope embossing powder. I'm sure it's already a technique, but I've decided to call it FAUX ENAMEL. So, there ya go! A new *kinda* start to my old Technique Tuesday! ;)

Doesn't it look neat?! I tried to get okay pictures of the shimmer, but they all turned out too dark. :( Just imagine how bright and shiny it is in real life in your head. Isn't it amazing?! ;)

I hope you've been inspired to create something pretty today! :) Happy stamping--and happy faux enameling! ;)
