Thought I'd get my February "Tim's Tag" done early for a change... I don't have any of his drafting style stamps yet... and don't have any Queen of Hearts stamps either... So used an embossing folder as a letter press.

I'm using one of the newest Valentine's Day/Love 2013 set "Always Kiss Me..." and some of the "Queen of Everything" set from Quietfire Design

Inked up a Cuttlebug embossing folder (Queen of Hearts) with Versafine Black Onyx, sandwiched my 90# watercolor paper and ran through my machine, removed the folder and embossed with clear embossing powder. Colored the design with Distress Markers. Trimmed close to embossed image, then distress the edges with Tim's Distresser.

Scored and folded my easel card from white cardstock. Embossed the floor area with Crafts Too embossing folder "Rose & Hearts Frame" stopping when I got to the leaves, then going backwards through the machine. That way I got only the front edge embossed. Stamped my sentiments with the black and clear embossed. Sponged with dirty Distress sponges (red & green and brown).

Used the same folder to emboss the front fold section, again manipulating my folder to emboss the areas I wanted. Sponged with my dirty red sponge...

Adhered a piece of decorative paper to the front back section - It's an acrylic/gessoed piece I think on butcher paper that I did probably 5 + years ago...

Die cut the medium sized heart (Spellbinders Nested Heart set) from white Shrink Plastic, punched a hole, then stamped the "Kiss Me" with the black and shrunk. Wrapped the QofH with a red/white butcher twine and tied my heart. Adhered the playing card to the front of my easel.

My stopper is a row of white pearlescent hearts (Michael's "on a roll" hearts)
