Valentine's Card

I thought I'd share my Valentine's Card for hubby this year - quite safe as he never looks at my blog lol!  This will be our 40th Valentines together - my how the years do fly by.

I started off using the Gell print and Distress Ink in Crackling Campfire and Speckled Egg.  They made a lovely background which I'm going to do again.  I added the heart from Visible Image stamp set called From the Heart.  Using an embossing pen I embossed parts of the image in Crackling Campfire and Speckled Egg Glaze.  I added the little sentiment from Tim Holtz ideaology pack and some of Tim's velvet ribbon.





I'm adding this into the following challenges:


IA&S - hearts
Country View Challenge  hearts and flowers and bold print
