Love.

love 14 front
Good morning,
there seems to be an awful lot of challenges out there that are using the love and valentines theme at the moment with Valentines day just around the corner.. so i thought I would join in. 


love 14 front
I have used a magnolia image for this card,
The papers are a download, which i have had for years.. it was from atomic cupcake. she is still selling the kits but she hasn’t added any new ones for a long long time.. this paper is from the Casanova kit, I thought that it work well with this image.
I used one of the T!m Holtz stamps for the sentiment and then just cut around it, i was being lazy .. really i should have cut out a ticket die shape..
I have also used a Martha Stewart border punch.. (I think that mine is on it’s way out doesn’t seem to want to work properly, I think that I'll punch some tin foil with it to see if that sorts it out.. Sad smile
The corner pieces have been cut using a quickutz die..
seam binding in Bordeaux wine and a metal embellishment was added to finish..
love 14 side view
the inside of the card has been decorated to compliment the front..
Challenges entered:
 The crafty pad ( love is in the air)

Nannieflash said...

Oh Rach, that is gorgeous I do love that deep red it works so well with your beautiful papers. I find all punches seem to have a short shelf life and then they just get more difficult to use, Im on my third doily edge one, and I carnt tell you how many of the fern leaf ones Ive worn out with continual use, they just dont seem to be very strong.
Thank you so much for you know what, with love and huge hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxx

Andrea said...

A stunning card as usual, with amazing colouring. I just love the little playing card embellishment.
Can you put the Martha Stewart punches in the freezer? - can't remember where I heard that tip but its supposed to make the metal contract back or something LOL! I would have expected them to last for years when you consider how much they cost!
Love, Andrea xx
