Valentine's Are Here!



My ARTspot has the colors of Valentine's all over and I'm creating away! I had the most fun creating this card for a swap over in ARTHaven...it is heading to Australia to my friend Wendy! I fell in love with the background paper from Best Creations Inc and it is actually Christmas paper...yep, it has Merry Christmas written right on the bottom! However, I had a different eye when I looked at it and here I am using it as Valentine paper...love it too! I added a black border and circle inset along with the black heart lock and keys...just felt the black was the perfect offset! The cream ribbon had an elegant look to me and I liked it with the Fleur de Lis die from spellbinder. I'd had a little trouble using this die in the past as it was not releasing well but I'm finding less problems as I continue to use it and play with it more often. Yes, I do want to know what you think of my untraditional Valentine card??? The inside simply says (thanks to Hero ARTs), You Have a special place in my heart! It's a card that can be used for most anyone you care about this Valentine's Day! Enjoy your day! Diann

It's a lovely card. I got myself a BigKick for Christmas and will have to start cutting out cool shapes like you do.
