I think these colours are just fabulous and perfect for a romantic themed card. I started off by stamping a selection of WMS patterns onto white card and cutting out little hearts. I made coordinating mats for each heart. Next I cut a panel of Real Red card onto which I layered a panel of white card which I embossed with these sweet love hearts. I finished off with a bold sentiment stamped in Versafine. A clean, simple and fun Valentine card.
Kathryn had a Snow Day today and she invited one of her friends over in the afternoon. They spent most of the day inside, but for a mad 15 minutes they went out to play in the snow!!! I got out my camera to capture the fun and took a few more of the area. Here are a couple of photos taken this afternoon; if you want to see them all - click on this link.
That's all for now - it's almost time for bed. I'm off to a craft class tomorrow - making a scrapbook page that has a shabby, vintage look - completely out of my comfort zone!!! Should be lots of fun!

Hi Deborah - lovely card and great pics - your not-so-new now life looks wonderful in the US. I hope, by the time you read this, that you had a great craft day, and look forward to seeing the results. I've got to start a scrapbook and it's taking me outside my comfort zone, too. x

Beautiful card Deborah! I love the sweet hearts down the center.

Deborah, this is so lovely and an absolute perfect make for this sketch!! Enjoyed your pictures of the latest beautiful snow!!
This is such a great combo of the challenges, Deborah! I adore the little patterns you chose for the hearts! A beautiful gradient color scheme...and how sweet is the embossed background? A perfect Valentine!
Fabulous photos and an amazing card. Love all of the hearts.
Love the action photo of the kids running in the snow! Nothing like a snow day when you're young! I love your clever hearts and all the different WM stamps you used to make them!
This is a lovely, creative way to use the heart dies Deborah! Awww, great shot of the girls~
Hi Deborah
This is a very lovely card. I like the different patterns on the hearts, that's a great idea. And the embossed background with all those pretty hearts as well as the sentiment make this a wonderful Valentine card.
I also had a look at your photos, thanks for sharing them with us. With all the snow you have it looks like here in Switzerland.
Have a nice day!
