Hello there! Valentine's Day is about a month away, and I've begun making a small stash to deliver to the shop for sale. If you live in South Jersey, head over to Arts Plus Gallery in Collingswood. You'll find a great gift for your sweetheart, and some pretty cards, too. {wink, wink}
If this wasn't so girly, I'd probably give it to my husband -- just to keep it in the family. LOL I really love how this turned out! The pink cherub label and small round taupe flower are epoxied stickers from DCWV. A couple of pink houndstooth hearts, just lying on the craft desk, made their way on here.
The pink floral paper in the background is Anna Griffin (sigh). I ripped out a page from K & Co.'s Flora and Fauna Ledger paper tablet, and I kept the torn edge the way it was. Just inked it a little to shab it up. The "LOVE" stamp and "my Sweetheart" stamp are from the same Fiskars set, All Year Greetings.
Edited to add: I'm entering this at the brand new challenge, The Card Concept. There are 6 design styles to choose from, and here are the colors that are part of the inspiration:
I chose the Freestyle Collage style because of the random mix of elements I've used. You can find descriptions of each card style for this challenge HERE.
I so appreciate you joining me today!
