Initially, I wanted to make a cream colored Valentine card with the rectangular panel popped up on foam dots — to give it some dimension — along with these delicious red letters.
Then, I remembered that my shimmery cream paper is only shimmery on ONE side. That meant the inside of the card would have been a blah matte cream. I could have added a shimmer panel to the inside, but the top part of the inside would have still been dull and that’s not the look I wanted.
So I turned to the black paper, and fell in love!
