Hello. Thanks very much for the kind comments on my blog. It’s so much fun connecting with such a fantastic community of shopaholics crafters! 😉
Today I wanted to share a Valentine’s card I made. I decided at the beginning of the year not to pack away my festive dies, but rather to alter them for use in projects throughout the year.
This time I altered the Victorian Caroller and the holiday words: script thinlits dies.
I cut “believe” and “merry” to give me “be my”. I also used the alphanumeric dies, which I am obsessed with. I love having the ability to title your cards with whatever you can think of.
I used my new stamp sets watercolor and handwritten thoughts to decorate the background and with a bit of stitching I was done.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my card.
