A Valentine and a Thank you.

I haven't had much time to blog this week.....just not enough hours in the day!! We are now at the half way point of winter, can't wait to see what that silly groundhog will predict this week..we have had 100cm (39in.) more snow than a normal winter here. No wonder I am sluggish...lol.



This is one of my favorite Valentine cards so far. The heart is from Impression Obsession. I embossed it with black and painted it with Tombows. I started in the center and graduated the colors from there. When it was dry I went over it with oyster H2o's. I added some stickles to the ends of the flourishes and around the heart. I used a Stamps by Judith branch and embossed the background on the purple card. I used my cb folder for the white bg. I cut the tag with my spellbinder tag dies. I used my hockey stick shaping tool to round the edges of the heart to give it some shape and used foam tape to lift it.

I hope you like it.


AWARDS

I also have to say a HUGE Thank you to Bonnie and Tasha for giving me these awards. I'm so sorry ladies I just haven't had time to do them or pass them on. I hope you can forgive me. I truly appreciate you thinking of me.






I hope you all have a great weekend and Thanks so much for stopping by. I am touched by the wonderful comments you have left for me.

Take care
KAREN x
