Happy Valentine's Day

Hi folks,

Just popping in to share the card I made for my sweetie for Valentine's Day.

Excuse the slightly wonky heart. In retrospect, there WAS an easier way to make this card. But I wanted the cut-outs and not layers - and I have a bad habit of NOT taping down my dies when I run them through the machine. So - shifting sometimes occurs and I didn't really notice it until after I was editing the photo. Oh well! One of these days I WILL learn.

card details:

• finished size: 6 x 6 inches, black card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH "La Vie En Rose"
• stamped sentiment: CTMH "Beloved Bouquet" - January 2016 SOTM
• embellishments: CTMH White Enamel Gems

Challenges for this card:

• Simply Create Too #102: Love or Valentine's
• Come and Get it Challenges: Love is in the air

As always, thanks for stopping by!
