Happy Love Day! My husband Jeremy and I will celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary on August 28. We were 20 when we met - we are 53 now and I would not change a damn thing. Seriously, not a thing. Even the bad times made us who we are today, and I love who we are today. This is the Valentine card that I made for him, which I'd like to enter into the following challenges:
A Cut Above - February Anything Goes
Cut it Up #323 - This Makes Me Smile
(Valentine card for my hubby!)
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Spritz & Splatter
The Paper Funday Challenge #73 - Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
I created my background by using the ink smooshing technique with Black Soot & Candied Apple Distress Inks on a large piece of watercolor paper. I then cut half of the paper to card size and used the other half to die-cut 2 tags, then edged the tags with black ink. I stamped my king of hearts from CC Designs Queen of Hearts set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with alcohol inks & white pen, added some Fluffy Stuff on the collar & sleeves, fussy cut him and attached him to my tag with foam dimensional tape. I added some hearts that I also die-cut from the same scrap piece of coordinating watercolor paper and edged them with black ink, then attached them with foam dimensional tape. I finished it off by tying some pretty ribbons to the tags. Peace.
Fantastic MM card! The smooshed ink design looks awesome. Love the King of Hearts image on the die cut tag. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's February, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" Challenge.
