And there's the first month of 2013 gone ~ whoosh!
I was going to start participating in Christmas card challenges all year long. Not. It feels like a speeding train.
Today's CAS class was again CASucational! I CASEd Julie Ebersole with white ink on a dark background and I got another Valentine made in the bargain. Yippididdle!!
Here you go:
EZPZ. I think it would really be stunning embossed, but this shows that you can make a perfectly happy card in less than five minutes. EZPZ.

I love white ink on a dark background and don't always emboss. Sometimes the ink smears though and it has to become blowing snow. Or now I could call it chalkboard technique! Another lovely Valentine, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteDarnell, your color box white sure looks a TON better than mine. How brilliant to plan for another valentine card in the mix for this class! Love the card and love the HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteWhat Colleen said about white ink! LOL Your hearts look SO pretty on red, and I just love quick cards like this! NJ!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card. Great idea to use that 'happy' sentiment. I love that one. You did well on your homework. The white on red is so striking.
ReplyDeleteDarnell,
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty. Love the heart.
sweet and totally striking card!!
ReplyDeleteI love your card Darnell and thank You so much for sharing these pictures. They really made me laugh ;o)
ReplyDeleteSch a sweet card, I just love that heart stamp. Cute photos too!
ReplyDeleteFive minutes really? Great card ~ a technique I will definitely have to try. Love the beautiful heart stamp. Thanks for the smilie photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy Valentine, Darnell, love your white Valentines! Hope you have a happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteLovely card for Valentine's day and gorgeous photos,
ReplyDeletehugs Tamara
Your white inked hearts do look embossed, the dotted background with the flowers raised, or is it just a trick to the eye the way the stamp looks in your picture. Beautiful card
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning Darnell. I love the white hearts on the red background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those fun photos!!

Hi Darnell, your card is wonderful and looks like it took a lot longer than 5 minutes! Love the photos, especially the cat one...they are all cute. Hugs, Annie x
ReplyDeleteYou've absolutely rocked your homework, they'll be asking you to teach the next class!! You can keep the baby and the cat, but I'll take Karma any day!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

The white on red is so perfect here, Darnell ... crisp and precise. My whites (one pigment, one stazon) never ink like this ... the colour just seems to get lost. Thanks for all the updates on your class ... clearly fabulous ... another thing to add to my wish list! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYou know you have hit a certain age when entire years go...whoosh!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this card. It's a very detailed and beautiful heart - but the card is still so beautifully clean. Fantastic effect with just white!
Love the valentine card!
ReplyDeleteAnd those puns are just terrible, but that didn't stop us laughing out loud!
I'm so busy wondering if there was tongue involved in that last photo, I've forgotten what I wanted to ask... would love to know what kind of white ink (and what kind of smooth CS is that) you used? What great results.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, lookie there... the ingredients! Silly me. Hate to admit I actually had the spectacles on.
ReplyDeleteYour hearts look fab on the red and love them going off the edge. Loved looking at your pics too. x
