Love You.



Valentines Day seems to be the in a lot of folks minds at the moment.
I will have a few more D.T. pieces to show you in the coming couple of weeks.
My OH and I,  after the first throws of  young love, many, many years ago, don't send them to each other.
Last year we celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary, so I think we must have done something right through the years.
 So this card is, 'to us with love'.

The colours  used are shades of cream [antique linen] , walnut stain, tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks . Cream and light navy papers, the embossing folders are by Sizzix, the leaf a Memory Box die.
The silver embossed Heart is from Stamps by Chloe.

When I made this card this morning I had no idea it would fit these three super challenges
Sugar Creek Hollow  -Use colours, Cream, Brown, and Blue.
Cheerful Stamp Pad -Romance is in the Air
Snazzy's design team blog -their first challenge is Love/Romance.

Thankyou for stopping by I realy appreciate your comments

  2. Lovley card Yvonne!

    Belated congratulations on 45 years of marriage. I'm completely with you on that - you don't need to give a card to show someone how much you love them (it also means one less card to make - lol!!!!)
