Ok, I should have posted this earlier but in truth this was a last minute creation on Saturday. I had a card made for my husband for weeks, I always tend leave the one for my son till the last minute. Procrastination is great isn't it.

I had embossed the My Valentine sometime in the past 3 years, yup 3 years. I make mistakes or something does not fit and I save it, I saw this peaking at me over the edge of my shelf and decided to build a simple card around it. The tan cardstock comes embossed with dots.

I used a large circle punch that magically fit to cut out the embossed image, I then added a red Lacey circle as a background. I used my very rarely used Dragonback Fiskars paper edgers scissors on both layers. I added some thick red ribbon. I finished with a Spellbinders Ladies fashion buckle, if you look close it has hearts. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder for a glossy look.

Supplies: Cream, red and tan cardstock, GStudio- Valentine, Spellbinders-Ladies Fashion Buckles and Lacey Circles, Ranger-red embossing tinsel, misc red ribbon.

Cheers,
Nina

    I totally am enamored of your little red belt/ribbon and your color combo is very appealing. Just an all over wonderful love card.
