Bright Valentine

Hi stampers!  How can January go so slow and then this month go so fast?  Seriously, January lasted for-ev-er and this month is flying by!  I can't belelive V-day is next week, I need to get cracking on more Valentine's, including 13 or so for Ian's class!  Yikes!

And I've been meaning to stamp and blog but it's just not been happening.  I'm not quite sure WHAT I've been doing...that ever happen to you?  LOL!  I DID get a hydrafacial yesterday which was kind of amazing!  It was my early birthday present to myself, lol!  My skin has not been looking good the past month or so.  It looks great and feels amazing now.  I'd love to get them regularly but I'd probably rather buy more stamps instead ;-)  I did get some ridiculously expensive Vitamin C serum (wasn't aware that it was quite that pricey but I really liked it and she said it will help me so....) too.  Now I need a new moisturizer.  They changed the one I've used for 20+ years.  Don't you HATE that????  Anyway, onto the stamping!

I did make this at the tail end of Ian's nap the other day.  I just can't get enough of the color combo of melon mambo, lemon lime twist, and tranquil tide!  I used sponge daubers to ink up the stamp.  I stamped the background hearts by stamping off once.   You may have to enlarge the picture to see them, they are really faint, which I like!  They didn't photograph well.  The pink heart was stamped and then I used a blender pen to pull the ink into the little circles and fill them in.  It looked too stark "naked" ;-)  And the final touch was a few of the new gold chunky glitter flakes.  A drop with the fine tip glue pen works well to adhere them.
