 Card size:  5.75 x 5.75 inches

Supplies:
JustRite Stampers: Lace Borders Cling, Winter Words Clear
Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilites Classic Hearts and Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts Dies, Nested Pennants
Markers & Ink: Copic Markers; GellyRoll Red Stardust Pen; Rangers Black Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink
Accessories: Black Lace; Black Satin Ribbon; May Arts Black Silk Ribbon;Bazzill Black Cardstock; Doodlebug Black and White Glitter Paper; The Paper Studio U & Me Paper Stack; Stampin’ Up Whisper White Cardstock; The Paper Studio Red Mirror Cardstock; Pop-dots; Recollections Pearls

Instructions:
For card: Cut 5.75" x 11.5" Bazzill Black cardstock and fold for card. Cut a piece of 5.25" x 5.25" White glitter cardstock, and a 5" x 5" piece of patterned paper from the U&Me paper stack.  Glue patterned paper to glitter cardstock, then glue lace and satin ribbon to your panel. Adhere to your black card.

Constructing the heart:

Stamp a lace borders with Versamark ink and emboss with black embossing powder. Make two of these. Color the three petals in each section of the lacy border with Copic Markers R29, R27 and R24, being careful to stay inside the embossed lines. Cut each lacy embossed petal apart so that you have 14 pieces. (See card for guidance) Add a pop-dot to the back of each lacy piece.

With the largest Scalloped Heart die, cut one piece out of black glitter paper. Fit #3 Classic Heart (the 3^rd die of the set) inside the glitter paper heart and cut out the center.  Add pop-dots to the back of the heart piece.

Starting at the center point on the glittered heart, attach one lacy piece (see card).  To make sure you have even placement, next attach a lacy piece at the bottom of the heart. Finish adding the lacy pieces until your heart is made. Add pearls where the lacy pieces touch.

Attach heart to your card. Add silk bow. Stamp the sentiment on cardstock, and color with red stardust pen. Cut two ribbons from the Nested Pennants set using mirror cardstock. Attach to fit the sentiment. Roll this piece around a pencil on either side to resemble a flowing banner.

Here is the Lace Borders Set that Darsie used to create her heart design.

JustRite Friday Challenge #065: For The Love Of ...

For today's new JustRite Friday Challenge #065, For The Love Of . . . we'd like to see what it is you love!  Our challenge to you is to make a project using your JustRite stamps depicting something you love.  Examples: A love/Valentine card for a spouse, sibling, friend.  A love scrapbook page for a child.  An I/you/we love chocolate (or other food, shoes) card or gift.  A floral card because you love flowers, etc.  Easy enough?!!

My sample is a Valentine/Love card, using one of my favorite things to color ... flowers! (JustRite Clear With Sympathy roses):

The roses were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto patterned paper and then colored with Copic markers (colors listed below).

The image was die cut with Spellbinders dies and the seam binding ribbon was also colored with Copic markers to match the roses.

The grand prize for this challenge will be one of our brand new CHA Release stamp sets, a background stamp and a JustRite custom die set of the winner's choice!
