Create a Valentine Multi-Color Inkpad

Hi - Jean Okimoto here with another create-your-own ColorBox Multi-Color Inkpad.  This one features Picante, Orchid and Ruby - perfect for contemporary, girlie or open-your-eyes-wide Valentines.

Place a Basic Necessities Uninked Pad on a non-slip surface and carefully divide it into three sections by cutting down just through the foam pad. 

Place an old credit card or piece of acetate between the sections and ink them with the Picante, Orchid and Ruby Pigment Ink Refills.  Stamp Zigzag Border on white cardstock with the multi-color inks and emboss it with detail clear powder.

Stamp The Game of Love (grid) on white cardstock with Chestnut and emboss it with detail clear powder.  Stamp the individual Sweet Candies with Picante, Brown, Orchid and Ruby and emboss them with  detail clear powder.

Stamp the greeting (attached to the side of The Game of Love) on the smooth side of Petunia Cardstock with Chestnut and emboss it with detail clear powder.  Mat it with brown cardstock.  Cut a triangle of Petunia Cardstock, mat it with brown cardstock and create an arrow with the greeting.

Cut a 1.5" x 5" strip of brown cardstock and attach mini-brads near the left edge.  Cut, score and fold a 5.5" square card of Apricot Cardstock. Assemble the card - use  foam dots for the right edge of the candy piece and the greeting strip.
