Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week :) I have to keep this short and sweet - 4:30 AM comes really quick! I had some "me" time tonight so I made this "masculine" Valentine's Day card for my honey :)
I pulled out a piece of
Making Memories Paper Reverie Metallique Paper and combined it with a gorgeous fabric flower from my stash and a sweet sentiment from
Flourishes Fanciful Flourishes. This card qualifies for two challenges:
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge,
FTTC99 where Barb is challenging us all to create using a flower and for color inspiration, I referred to the beautiful graphic for
Play Date Cafe Challenge,
PDDC99:
Up close, you can see the sweet
WITH Love sentiment showcased inside the ornate metallic frame:
The beautiful Spring Moss wrinkle ribbon was courtesy of Kimberly at
My Craft Spot. Thanks for looking! Be Sweet :)
Supplies Used:
Stamps:

Patterned Paper: Making Memories, October Afternoon
