Valentines - I Love You

For a change I'm actually ahead and have made my husbands Valentine's Day card which I'm happy with... win, win!




This card is made purely from dies and a little red alcohol ink on yupo.  The 'I Love You' is by Alexandra Renke cut in black card.  I use double sided tape before putting through the Sizzix as its far easier than applying wet glue after.




After playing with the alcohol inks and before it was totally dry I added some foil and there is a reason for five love hearts, this year will be our 5th Valentine's Day together.

I wish the whole heart was covered in red but alas...

  16. Well, this couldn't be more perfect for our challenge!! I'm so in love with that heart die and I really like it with only a few red hearts, adds more interest and depth with the heart holes left unfilled. And I thought you stamped the sentiment, you've adhered it so perfectly. I'm over the moon you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
