Valentine in November
There's Christmas in July so why not Valentine's Day in November?! I've already made a lot of Thanksgiving & Christmas cards. Since I also like to send Valentine's cards I decided to use the sketch from MFT and the color combo from Dynamic Duos to get a head start. Stamp & dies are MFT.
The sentiment is from Lovey Dovey Sentiments & is silver embossed on a black scrap cut with Fishtail Flags by cutting it half way & then turning it around to cut the other end. It's mounted to a Dizzy Doily die cut that was white until I inked it with Brilliance Starlight Silver. The black panel is cut with Notched Border & sprayed with Glimmer Dust. Dispersed Dots die is used on another scrap for the background piece. Embellishments are sheer black ribbon & a double row of black gems--picked up a large package for $1. I'm adding this to Pixie's Crafty Workshop. Thanks for your visit--probably the only Valentine you saw today--LOL!
Beautiful Greta. Great start on your Valentine cards.
ReplyDeleteTerrific Valentine card Greta - what I love about it is that it doesn't have the usual red and hearts on, very classy looking. And those black gems were an absolute steal - well done!

Lovely Valentine, Greta! I have a cousin who doesn't send Christmas cards ... she sends Valentines. They are sent in February, when the stress of Christmas is over!!
ReplyDeletePolka dots and sparkle, what's not to love!
ReplyDeleteFun card.
ReplyDeleteDarling Valentine card, Greta! Lots of fabulous details!
ReplyDeleteYou're right: only Valentine card for today, and what a stunning on yours is! Polka-dots, sparkle, doily: wonderful elements! You've rocked both the challenges. Such a nice break from the festive Christmas cards - and a reminder that Valentine's Day really isn't so far away! LOVE this!!
