Another of my "oh no, please don’t go" favourites is the Taste of Textiles papers.

For this card, I used the metalllic bronze paper from this package. I was surpised to see a black core in this paper the first time I used it.  To show off the black, I sanded the Manhattan Flower  images after embossing with the die.  What fun!  When tearing this paper the black center is really highlighted. 

I finished the card by adding some black embellishments and a touch of colour wth the Rose Red.

Taste of Textiles, #113991, $11.75

This card is so elegant and yet was very simple to make. The heart stamp from Polka Dot Punches was used to create the focal piece and the background on the largest square of black. By rotating the image it filled up the piece and created the design. Heat embossing with gold powder finished this card.

I plan to use it for Valentines Day right now and for wedding and anniversary cards this year as well. These stamps coordinate with the same shaped Stampin’ Up! punches and makes cutting out the images easy-peasy. Polk Dot Punches is FREE with a $60 purchase until March 31st. But you will want it now with Valentines just around the corner.
