Just when I thought I'd finished my Valentine's cards, I decided to enter an unusual challenge at Shopping our Stash - use toilet paper !
I did have to try several ideas before I got one to work. I wet the toilet paper, stamped into it with an uninked swirl stamp and left it to dry on the radiator. When it was dry I die cut it with a Sizzix original die and then coloured the smaller heart with Distress Ink. I coloured some white paper with Distress Spray, inked a Tom Holtz embossing folder and embossed the card with it. So, a grungy Valentine featuring toilet roll!
As well as Shopping Our Stash, I'd like to enter:
