Black and White and Red All Over

It's not a newspaper!  It's a Valentine's Card!  I had two different challenges this week that I liked for my weekly stamping time.  2 weeks down 50 to go on my 2011 Resolution!

The first challenge was the Utah Diva's Inspiration Challenge #129 and the second was Utah Diva's Sketch Challenge for January 8th.

 The Inspiration

 The Sketch



I used the my new favorite ribbon technique - scrunchie ribbon along with some masking, and Amazing Glaze to make the center heard very thick and glossy.  I'm mostly satisfied with the result although I wish my Black ink didn't have a Blue hue to it.  I may have to order a new one this month to see if there is a difference.

Supplies
Stamp Sets: I {Heart} Hearts, Seeing Spots, and Sweet Spot
Ink: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler
Black Satin Ribbon, Polka Dot Embossing Folder
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black
