HEARTS at the Sisterhood of Crafters

 

 

  Hello my friends!

Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!

Our theme today is:
 
 HEARTS
 
 OMG ... here we are in the Month of Love already!
Today's theme made it the perfect time for me to make a card for my sweet hubby.  A year doesn't go by that he doesn't have a surprise & a card for me.  He quit signing the cards years ago!  I asked him once WHY and his comment was 'Do you have other guys giving you cards of Love?'  LOL ... good point ... enough said!

Anyways, today's card was created using a tag from an OLD set of Crafty Secrets (long time out of business) images for the focus ... background paper from the Paper Studio - Four Seasons paper pack and the blue hearts were die cut from one of the hearts in the Sue Wilson 'Wedding' - Shadow Box Collection.
 
 

 After taking my photos, I decided to use up the left over background paper and cover the flap on the envelope to match.  It's running the wrong direction but I don't think hubby will even notice!  LOL


The little sentiment dies are from that same Sue Wilson die set.  I simply cut them from the scrap of card stock left over from die cutting the hearts and added them to the image.  A little piece of sheer ribbon for the tag tie and my card is all ready to go come Valentine's Day.

  I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun at The Sisterhood of Crafters!

    Beautiful card, vintage images for Valentines are my favorite, they just are the best to me! Love the pretty red paper you used (and I did notice the paper running sideways, of course I did, right? LOL) Oh my hubby signs my cards, but he always includes ALL the cats and dog too, can't forget the fur babies LOL!!

    Hehehe, your hubby is too funny :-) But yes, he has a point doesn't he? I wonder at the look of surprise on his face if you'd answered "yes", just to mess with him, of course :-) See, that's the kind of thing I would have done. I have this imp that sits on my shoulder every now and then, and it comes out to play :-)
    Your card is lovely Darlene, and your hubby is going to love it. I love the vintage look of it ... so romantic!
    Enjoy your day, my friend. xx

    Beautiful card for Valentine's Day. This vintage image really is so beautiful for this day. I love the background paper as well as the color combination. The blue hue looks so pretty paired with red and vintage.
    Thank you for participating in the Everybody Art Challenge.

    Such a lovely tag you have there, so pretty with it's vintage feel, like how you added the sentiment to it and the embossed hearts are so pretty too, I like how you even matched the envelope to your card!

    What a great card, Darlene! He appears to be contemplating where his heart wants to lead him and if he should follow. I'm sure your sweet hubby is glad he followed his heart and proposed to you. Lucky guy! I used to have a collection of vintage Valentines. Hmmm... where are they?
