Love is in the Air


I made this Valentine with a Spellbinders "Love Vine" die, cutting it in red and white and switching the inside negative colors for a contrast look. I took some snippets of SU! Sending Love dsp to create the background and banner, and added a Martha Stewart punched border on the top where I added red hearts to the negative sections. For the final touch, I added a little tiny ribbon bow to the top. The inside has a nice Valentine's Day sentiment.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Your card certainly has love oozing from it, so many sweet elements like the little inlaid hearts, the bow and of course the super red and white colour scheme x
