I wanted to make a Valentine's Day card that was different and yet elegant, obviously this one will not be for my hubby....... but you know, maybe you could. I got this sketch from off of SCS and changed it up a bit but sticking with SU Always stamp set. I used the black base which is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and then layered the white with birds n swirls cuttlebug folder- I thought this just made it perfect. The heart is stamped in black on white cardstock and yes- I did cut that darned thing out and then I slightly inked the edges of the card. The black eyelet lace is a MS punch but SU also has this new punch in their new catty! Yahoo! Added a little black and white ribbon- the kindness phrase and tada! What do you think- a success at making it a little different?Okay- you ladies want a chance at some Blog Candy? Claudia over at Pretty Pressings has some wonderful new Alota stamps!
