Hi, Friends......
I am here with a rather CAS masculine valentine that was inspired by the current MFT Color Challenge palette:
I also used the Tuesday Morning Sketch which I elongated vertically for my card.
I don't know if you can see the swirling stitched details of this lovely die I used or not. The die was a prize from the lovely Susan Hogan of Unstampabelles. (THANKS, Susan!!!) I have another card made with the same die that I will show you soon where the graceful flourishes are more obvious.
I stamped the little tag with an ancient stamp from my stash. Not sure if I or one of my kids picked this up in a grab bag of thrift store stamps or what, but it has been around for a long time and rarely gets used. It was perfect to put on this small tag.

| Just a touch of pink and a dark grey card base for the challenge palette! :) |
Supplies used include:
Poppystamps - Heart Breeze die
XOXO stamp from stash
Versafine ink in Onyx Black
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Shimmery metallic faux raffia from my stash
DCWV scrap
Core'dinations/Darice solid cardstock
Hope you liked this valentine. I think the grays and deep red make it great for a man. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
🖤
Janis

This is the perfect masculine Valentine card but it would work for anyone as well. I just love that Poppystamps die with the subtle but lovely design. Dies that cut a pattern into the card base and don't involve too much intricate gluing is always a plus!
ReplyDeleteGreat design. Thanks for joining in at Crafty Cardmakers and good luck with the challenge, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteFab card and I love the kitty joke at the top. It's so true too!
