I immediately saw a fabric rosette sticking out and went through my scrap fabrics. I found a floral rectangular scarf that my dear daughter saw fit to cut into when she was smaller. So I just cut another strip off and gathered one edge in with long stitches. I didn't even go all the way since I just needed a half-circle shape.

Stamps used:
Faithful Florals (GinaK designs)
Whimsical Wishes (GKD)

Materials used:
Tim Holtz distress ink: Crushed Olive

Here's my card:

 I went last week and finally got a proper heat gun. The shop didn't have plain white embossing powder but it had this "puffing" embossing powder. It creates a very interesting texture:

I'm not sure I like how serious this card is but it might find an occasion some day ...

Zorro's Valentine

This picture was cut from a very old scrapbook page from Graphic 45. The letters were done on my computer and printed out. It's strange - no stamping at all!
This card is for Day 9 of CPS: http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2012/02/cps-5th-anniversary-day-9-with-deb.html

The letters were cut out with a Spellbinders tag die and the bottoms cut off with scissors. They're strung up with baker's twine from The Twinery.
