Chalkboard Technique - Word Art Valentine

It has been some time since I have posted here. My father passed away earlier this month after a 3 month battle with cancer, so I haven't spent much time in my craft room. Things are slowly getting back to normal, so hopefully I will have more time to create.
Today, I wanted to share this card with you. I love the look of the chalkboard technique, so this weekend tried my hand at it. You can find great instructions here by Betsy Veldman . I also love the typeset style or word art type stamp sets, however I don't own any, so I decided to make my own. I pulled out all of the stamps that I thought might have a word or expression that would work and proceeded to place them on my largest block. After trying the stamp out with regular ink first and a number of tweeks and adjustments I was ready for the versamark and heat embossing.
