Good morning! This card was published in Scrapbook News & Reviews a few months ago and so I'd like to share it here with you today. It's not necessarily a Valentine's Day card, but can be a card for an anniversary, birthday, or even a just because card. I really let the designer paper do the work for me with this card just stamping the main image and sentiment, then adding a few embellishments, and a punch border. The lace on top of the black punch border is a look that I love. If you look in the lower right hand corner, you can see where I cut part of a Nestability circle to make it square. The hardware of the clip just accentuates the office theme and the flower charm accentuates the flower designer paper, so I have 2 themes going on with this card, but it worked!
Thanks for stopping by to visit me again today and hopefully by now, my studio will be unpacked and semi-functional, but I'm sure I will still need to finish the rest of the house. God bless you and Today's Treasure is Jeremiah 23.
