Scalloped Valentine

I just got my order in from the new TAC catalog and had to play with my new toys. This is the 3" Giga Scallop Circle Punch.
It is so easy to use. I don't have any really nice punches like this. It is the first one I've gotten from TAC. The other ones I have take a lot of pressure to go through the cardstock and don't leave a very clean edge but this one is NICE. It works great!




Here is a card using TAC's "Friendly Note", "Wishing You", and "Running Stitches" sets and cardstock from the "Pop Rocks" collection.









I wanted to show you a fun way to add extra sparkle to your images. Here is a close up of the hearts.




To get this effect, color your image with Watercolor Pencils and use a Versamarker to blend. Be very careful to stay inside the lines when you're blending! Then before your Versamark has dried, you add some Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat it as usual. For the vase, I just used Transcendence Embossing Powder (you could use any clear EP) to make it look shiny like water.


Look under the "Products" tab on my TAC website for the items used to make this Valentine card.
