Love is in the Air

I ordered the Love Letterpress plate when it was on clearance in December. I just didn't understand how to use them but I thought I'd give it a try. (Discounted price can be a great incentive to give something a try we might not want to otherwise!) Admittedly I have only used it this one time! I guess I just found myself a challenge!

First I stamped the hearts with Pretty in Pink ink. Then I inked up the plate with Basic Black ink and ran the cardstock through the Big Shot on the plate. The plate leaves an impression as well as the ink on the cardstock. Really kind of neat! The heart is punched from the Silver Glimmer paper. I'm loving that stuff too!

Stamps: I {Heart} Hearts
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black
Accessories: Full Heart punch, Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, Rhinestones

Happy Stampin'!

This is a beautiful card - admittedly I have never bought a letter press either! I love this card!

I've had this since it came out and have been scared to use it. LOL! I love what you did with it here with the hearts too.

One of the prettiest projects I've seen with that letterpress plate. I still haven't taken the plunge, but now you have me thinking about it...
