love you more

Oh yes I do.


Wrote over the sentiment with the Pico IrRESISTible Embellisher to give it a nice glossy finish without the hassle of embossing.


  • Inked up the hearts from Essentials by Ellen by Julie All Inside with a pale pink #723 Tombow marker onto an A2 card made from Canson watercolor paper and then painted over with water.  
  • Rubbed a Ranger Distress Marker (Festive Berries) onto a palette and watercolored over the hearts to provide some dimension.
  • Using Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink, stamped the sentiment from Essentials by Ellen by Julie Love You So
  • Let card dry and wrote over the sentiment with Irresistible Pico Embellisher.
  • Thought about adding speckles but resisted. Sat back and left it alone.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!

you're a brave soul to ink over those letters with Pico - i'd mess it up for sure!! i use my MISTI and HA black ink - stamp twice and emboss with clear and i get a great shiny finish. anyway - wonderful card - really like the design. is that a pink envelope or the base of you card - i can't tell??? whatever it looks great.

Clean and simple and gorgeous. I agree with Betty, I would have made a mess with the Pico thingie but you did a great job.

thanks Betty. the pink is an envelope. If you tried the Pico you might be surprised how easy it is to use. I wanted to avoid embossing since this was a one layer card and I hate warping!! Hugs

Love this fun card. You are having fun with your embellisher. My New Year's Resolution is to not buy any stamping related items for a whole year!! My son is holding me to my word or I am afraid I would slip up. I'm sure it will be around next year as it sounds wonderful.
