Valentine Romance

Bookmarked for Love

Cut out a rectangle shape from black cardstock. Outline the edge of the card using a Liquid Gold paint marker (DecoColor opaque - broad line). Decorate down the centre of the bookmark with a piece of gold chiffon ribbon, adhere using double side sticky tape.

Cut out the bodice using black cardstock and outline using your liquid gold paint marker pen. Randomly glue on metallic confetti hearts, and outline in gold. Trim top and bottom of the bodice using hologram fibre, adhere using Aleen’s tacky glue (local craft store).

Cut out a piece of crinkled gold cardstock for a background to the bodice. Glue to ribbon and black cardstock using Aleen’s tacky glue.

Using Adirondack Inks decorate your 2 tri-ominoes creating the polished stone technique. Outline the tri-ominoes with Liquid Gold paint marker (DecoColor opaque - broad line). I used a 57c postage stamp to decorate the top of the dominoes (but you can use any valentine/romance image of your choice)

Finish off your bookmark by embellishing with co-ordinating fibre, and attaching 1 black and 1 red mini domino. For added decoration I glued on a gold star rhinestone to the red domino and 1 tear drop rhinestone to the top of the bookmark onto the gold ribbon.

It's a Date

Make a square folded card from heart cardstock with the fold at the top. Edge the card using a Liquid Gold paint marker (DecoColor opaque - broad line).

Next, stamp out the boy and girl images directly onto the shiny surface of 2 jumbo sized dominoes. (Boy and Girl stamp is a single stamp, source unknown).

Tip : Only ink the part of the image you want to stamp. Clean the stamp, and then ink the other image using coal black Ancient Page dye ink (Clearsnap).

Heat set images using a heat gun. Once done, you can now colour in your images using Sharpies.

Outline the dominoes using a Liquid Gold paint marker (DecoColor opaque - broad line). Cut out 2 black cardstock pieces approximately 3mm wider than the domino, also outline these in gold – then mount the domino to the card using Aleen’s Tacky Glue (Local craft store). Place the dominoes and black cards in the top right and bottom left corners of the folded heart card and adhere using double sided sticky tape.

Outline 2 heart shaped playing cards (1 king & 1 queen) with the same gold marker pen used on the dominoes. Attach letter brads to the card to represent the initials of the 2 valentines. Attach the heart shaped cards to the cardstock using raised double sized tape.

Ink up the cupid stamp (source unknown) in red and stamp onto the calendar. Then outline the mini calendar in gold and adhere with raised double sided tape.

Adhere gold peel off number stickers (local craft store) to the card to represent the year.
