25th Anniversary RemARKable Blog Tour - Best of Love







Welcome to the RemARKable 25 Years with Stampin' Up! Blog Tour!  You may have arrived here from Lee Bradford's blog.  What a great job she did with her creation!



As part of their 25-year anniversary celebration, Stampin' Up! is bringing back some favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will be released -one set per month-during 2013.  Along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

This month the RemARKables are showcasing February's theme "Best of Love."  I've made two projects with this stamp set.  Here's the first one:

I painstakingly stamped the "love" for the background using the stamp-a-ma-jig many times.  It was well-worth the effort.  To create the heart, I inked the entire stamp in Old Olive, then colored the leaves with Always Artichoke and the flowers with Melon Mambo and Real Red.
Here's my second creation:

I inked up the hearts with Melon Mambo and "stamped off" two of them.  No matter what I did, my ribbon kept wiggling for the camera, LOL!

Let me know what you think of these two cards.  Do you have a favorite?

Next up on the RemARKable tour is Tamra Davis.  You can click the image below or go to http://thecardladies.com to see what goodies she has created for you.

Happy Stamping!

Both are gorgeous! I really like the multicolored "love" one though.

Susan, I can't pick a favorite. I love them both. The top one I love the colors you used and the colored 'love' you painstakingly added.
The second card is so sparkly. Beautiful job.
