Good Morning, Girls!
Today I've got a sweet little Valentine card to share with you. I bought way too much Valentine patterned paper this year - and some that I'm not even over-the-moon for, so some of them that I do like are being neglected *tears* I need to stop buying the first holiday line that I see because there are going to be more after that which I may like better. And, some of them with BIG patterns I have a hard time working with so I need to think about that next time as well. I'm making progress already. Miss Lu-La sent me a link to some new Easter papers that are out over at A Cherry On Top. I thought they were so cute and I immediately started to put them in my shopping cart to buy them NOW. And after about a few hours of of deliberating, I just left the site - with no order placed *yay me*
So this card today features some nice, soft Valentine papers from Be Loved by My Mind's Eye - - and I DO like them and feel bad for not making more with them. A little fun stitching around the edge (and when I call it fun stitching that means it's not perfect and I don't care *wink*), I pulled out my Top Note die for the center image panel, an Anna Griffin journaling card and a Verve sentiment. I had some fun with my ribbon treatment - wanted to try something different - so I tied a piece of some May Arts sheer ribbon that I got from Carly's ETSY shop: Perfectly Pretty, with a thin piece of some twill ribbon from Papertrey Ink, poked some heart trinket pins through and then topped my red strip with some Martha pearls.
Have a fabby day!

This is beautiful! Wow girl! Love those pretty papers, which I don't have :( Not all patterns anyway...lol
I need to use my top note more often, it gets neglected and I reach for my nesties instead.
This is so cute! I love the sheer touch behind the twill... adds dimension and "ooomf" without being distracting. :-) Love the pearls, too. :-) and I see now why you were on top of that Perfectly Pretty thing I had going on this morning...lol! Thanks for catching that! *hugs*
Beautiful! Love all the elements!
This is gorgeous! Love the papers you used, the sheer ribbon behind the twill, the pearls, the design... It just rocks!! :)
Love the embellishments and the sentiment. Nicely done!
This is soooo pretty! Love it! You do a way better job than me of using your paper. I buy a ton then make 2 or 3 cards. You make a series of cards out of one pack! I need to learn some restraint myself : )
This paper is so pretty. I love the gorgeous colors. I need to cut up some paper this weekend. You're giving me the itch!
