Loads of Love Valentine

This Valentine was made with the Stamping 411 sketch#188 here.
I started with a Basic Black base and added some Riding Hood Red card stock. Then I added some DSP from the Love Letter DSP. I stamped the truck from Loads of Love on some watercolor paper and colored it in with blender pens and Basic Black, Real Red and Melon Mambo Classic Ink pads. I used the 1/2 inch Circle punch to punch out some Riding Hood Red circles and added some heart buttons from the Bitty Buttons. I ran a strip of Riding Hood Red thru the Scallop Edge border punch. Loads of Love was stamped on Very Vanilla in Riding Hood Red, punched it out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and layered it onto a piece of Riding Hood Red punched with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch, all popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 1/4 inch Basic Black grosgrain finishes it off.

I colored it in with the Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink Stampin Write markers, cut it out and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.  I stamped the flourish in Chocolate Chip, colored it with the Pretty in Pink Stampin Write marker and cut it out. Hello was also stamped in Chocolate Chip but on Pretty in Pink card stock and I punched it out with the 3/4 by 15/16 inch Oval punch, popping it up with Stampin dimensionals. Then I added a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the Decorative Label punch. A 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip Jumbo brad and some 5/8 inch Whisper White satin ribbon finish it off.
