TMR - Valentine ....

....  Hello All!  Looks like you enjoyed our shades of blue theme last time - the thumbnail display looked fabulous.  Now it's time for our new challenge at The Male Room.  For the next couple of weeks we'd like to see your projects with a VALENTINE theme - we had to do it!!  Just remember that your projects must have a masculine feel.  Here's my take:

Stamps: MFT - LJD All My Love; Verve - Wings of Love, Stronger Love; Waltzingmouse - Woodgrain; Clearly Besotted - Love Hearts
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Concord Crush, Summer Starfruit, Tempting Turquoise; Distress - Squeezed Lemonade; Versamark
Dies: Die-namics - All My Love; Clearly Besotted - Love Heart Dies
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Tempting Turquoise, Concord Crush, Summer Starfruit; Silver Embossing Powder; Clear Embossing Powder; Sakura Stardust Pens

I've used a couple of challenges for this card.  The inspiration photo at Fusion - FUSION#27 is super and I decided to make a masculine card covered with hearts.  The colours are from last week's Colour Throwdown - CTD#327 - I think they're just perfect for a guy card!  I made the base from turquoise card and used turquoise to stamp a tone-on-tone woodgrain finish on the front.  I stamped a selection of heart images onto various cards.  I embossed some to give different texture.  On some of the blank hearts I stamped images and added sparkle to other hearts.  Then I had fun arranging the hearts and attaching them to the card.  On the inside I cut a layer of white card onto which I stamped a sentiment and some more hearts!

I had lots of fun making this card - check out the blog to see more inspiration projects with a masculine feel from the rest of the team.  Have fun!
