Please be sure to scroll down to learn more about the hop, and the prizes we are giving away! But first, enjoy this beautiful card idea from Creative Team member Jayne Nelson. Take it away, Jayne…

I really like using stencils to create beautiful backgrounds for small focal points on my cards. The new Love Swirls Stencil is perfect for creating a beautiful, graphic heart background for valentine, wedding, anniversary and other love cards. I simply inked the stencil with Pale Tomato ink onto a panel of white cardstock, wrapped the panel with a piece of vellum, and then secured it to a gray card base.

I embossed one of the wonderful images from the new Love Tattoos wood stamp set onto a circle of gray cardstock, secured it with foam tape, and then embellished the center of the image with a single pearl. I also added an embossed sentiment from the You Are My Happy stamp set below the Love tattoo. Just for fun, I finished the card with a pretty, over-sized bow.
