Happy Gal-in-times Day!

 Happy Valentines Day, my friends... I only have one true valentine who will receive his card tomorrow.  But if a girl ever needs a friend - a gal-in-times of need is so appreciated!  I'm unofficially taking over this day for those friends!

This card's for all of you... all the gals that offer a shoulder, an ear, a caring heart, and more support than I could ever hope for... I'm sending ...


and since it was made with an Artplorations Old Rose Prints stencil, then heat embossed with UT clear embossing powder, I'm also sending it over to the 

CAS Mix Up Challenge!


Here is a little closeup of that fabulous shine:


What's a girl to do with those MFT die-cut letters?  Make another you say? oh, okay... it's a nice day for a white wedding card!


This time I pressed my versamark pad over the stencil, onto vellum, 
and white heat embossed those Roses.  I may go back and fill that O with pearls!
What do you think?

Edited to send one of these over to the Love Vibe Challenge at Stamplorations!!  Maybe two?

  3. They are both just beautiful and it is so nice to see you in the CAS Mix Up gallery. The little pop of red is the perfect finishing touch on your first card. How did you manage to heat emboss the vellum without it warping terribly? No don't fill the O, but if the pearls are small perhaps a few in the bottom, but really the card is perfect as it is xx

  19. The yellow roses are so shiny and pretty, Michele! I think yellow is my favorite color of roses. The clean die-cut LOVE makes a wonderful contrast to the lively rose background. The little heart in "O" is so pretty.
    The white on white wedding love card is elegant and beautiful. I love that you tilted "O" a little. Wonderful design with or without pearls. Happy Gal-in-times Day, my friend!

  29. I so love these 2 stencil embossed cards. What glorious texture and beautiful simplicity. Hope you had a happy hearts day. Spent mine at the beach with my guy and 2 dear women friends. We ate chocolate, lobsters and champagne garnished with raspberries and blackberries. Pretty decadent indeed!
