Happy Valentine's Day

A sunny hello to all who visit - each and every one is much appreciated. I'm afraid I have yet another pink card to share but I promise to change colour for the next post! I'll keep this post short as I'm pressed for time.



Papers: My Mind's Eye (Be Happy collection) and various size doilies. Papers have been distressed, sponged and stamped with Kaisercraft Clear Stamp (Distress CS877) and various Distress Inks
Image: Free courtesy of Magic Moonlight (I also made some sepia and tone adjustments in Photoshop)
Dies: Cheery Lynn (Heart Chain Border), Magnolia (Heart Swirl), Spellbinders (Fleur de Lis Squares)
Venise Lace Heart from The Funkie Junkie Boutique (and card thus entered to The Frilly and Funkie Sunday Share)
Charms, lace ribbon, pearls and roses from stash

May you receive at least an extra little spoonful of love in your day today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Nicola xx

    Hi Nicola,
    A truly fabulous shabby chic, vintage card. The soft pink is so pretty and the follies add a lovely romantic touch.
    I would be most impressed if I ever received a card like that. Most impressed indeed!
    Happy Valentines day to one and all. Linda x

    Never apologise about pink Nicola, it's a bit like butterflies you can never have enough.

    And it's an absolutely delicious piece of artwork as well.

    Hi Nicola, what a gorgeous valentine card! The vintage image is beautiful surrounded with the lovely lace doily, die cuts and embellishments - I have a thing about lace and seem to pick it up wherever I go, lol - I love the little heart with the lace tie. I hope you're having a lovely weekend Nicola.

    Take care
