Happy Valentine's Day

Hiya! I heard there is some sort of football game on today...but in the meantime...Here's a picture tutorial of how I made my card for today! ☺ I used the Cupid Mini die. I cut a bunch of them out of Post-it craft paper which is self adhesive backed. I arranged them in a pattern I liked. They are going to act as masks. Then I sprayed my paper with viva pink glimmer mist....

Spray and zap it with your heat tool to set it quickly....

Peel them off and VOILA! You have made your own patterned paper! It gives a really cool wispy water-colored effect. You could use vinyl if you want a crisper look.

I know this card is super simple, but I LOVE this technique! I really wish the glimmer would show! Grr

Anyhoo, that's it for me today! Happy Footballing. HA
