Valentine Matchbox and Card Set

Valentine's Day is just around the corner
so I thought I'd design a sweet little 
treat or trinket box
and make a card to go along
with it.

*please click to enlarge photos*

The box is 3 1/4" square and has an ornately edged,
and ribbon wrapped, belly band around it.
Placed on top of the belly band is a
handmade paper rose, which
has been sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist
and a few scattered, tiny "dew drops"
were added with Glossy Accents.

I used an Our Craft Lounge
Stamp set called "Notes of Love"
to create the card which is 3" square and islayered with DP and Glitter Cardstock.


I stamped two of the heart images, then embossed
one of them with black embossing powder.
The second image was colored with Copic Markers,
then fussy cut and glued over the first image.

Red rhinestones were placed on
the image for added bling.

The inside on the card,
and the 3 1/4" square envie,
were stamped with other stamps from the set.
