LOVE is in the air - everywhere!

No doubt about it, Valentine's are my favorite next to Christmas cards!  Seems there are LOVE challenges just about everywhere - The Card Concept #27 is no exception:




Love, love, love my new technique for making truly beautiful dimensional wood grain cardstock... the best thing? Any color is possible! This one was made using my Darice embossing folder, soft stone cardstock from PTI, and a combination of Hero Arts white  and charcoal pigment inks.[Please excuse my awful stitching.. can I justify a new sewing machine for card stitching?] 

Even though the challenge used stacked letters, I'm thinking this one is one of those "more than words" cards that isn't just for Valentine's Day.

Thanks for stopping by - it always makes me smile...

    (Sigh!) No words are necessary. I see woodgrain and ombré were your inspiration as well!

    Another graphic stunner. I kind of like the wonky stitching myself, but would be happy to testify on your behalf to the budgeting committee regarding your need for a new sewing machine.

    There's not much I like more than old wood. Are you sharing that perfected technique? I love the card without a sentiment, Michele. It would just spoil your wonderful design.
