Sweetheart Hands

Here's a "Hand-in-Hand" card for Valentine's day or whenever you want to send a little love your "sweetheart's"* way! (Maybe on "Sweetest Day"? I've been thinking about "little known holidays" all day after checking out this month's awesome Dirty Dozen gallery!! Some of my dirty peeps made some REALLY cool stuff for it with my stamps (here and here!)too this month, and that just made my day!!:)
The hands are colored outlined with Copics and the little heart from "Just So Hippy" is stamped on both hands in Real Red.

"Sweethearts" is stamped onto SU! Silver Brushed CS and cut out with one of the Tag Trio Nestabilities Dies. I used these adhesive metal dots I found at Hobby Lobby and stuck them on at the wrist and around the sides of the mat to line up with the little tag holes like an ID bracelet. Something cool about these little dots, they are adhered to the sheet in strips, so I was able to pull off a whole row and attach them rather than pulling them off one by one, AND they look like they're in a strand, just like a bracelet! (The self adhesive rhinestones are like this, too) I put dimensionals under the tag and placed it askew to look like it's just draped there.

That red layer is more of that Incandescent Russo paper from Paper Temptress you saw on the butterflies the other day. It looks very pretty with the red ink, but just has that "extra oomph" with sparkle, very romantic!! I also used Basic Black and Gina K Pure Luxury White 80 and 120 lb for my mats and base. (BTW, what do you think, "white" background or black" for the pic? hmmm, can't decide...)

Thanks for looking!

*DH and I call each other "sweetheart". I'm SO glad to finally have this in a stamp!!! :) (but we do NOT have matching tattoos, LOL!!)
