Our challenge this month at Pearly Sparkles is Hearts. I've gone away from the traditional colours for this card and it is actually going to be for hubby. My background was made with some Distress Oxides in Hickory Smoke and Fossilized Amber and Faded Jeans . I added some extra stamping using Alison Bombers grasses stamp and also some texture paste. I created the tag using a very old stamp from Tim Holtz - I spotted it being used on Stampers Anonymous You Tube video and remembered I had the same stamp from about 20 years ago! I kept the same colours.
I layered the tag onto some old book pages - as this card is for hubby the pages I used have a significance as one of his favourite places in the world is Rome, especially Piazza Navona which you can just see peeking out. The love word is also an old Tim Holtz one, possible from the same set as the heart.
I'm adding this into the following:
