Hello there, It's early Tuesday morning. The grandkids spent the night. They just got on the bus.
Heavy rains today and then going to get high winds later this afternoon. I can tell It's not as cold. Suppose to get around 40 today. I am so tired of the bitter cold.
I'm so glad that you could stop by. It's almost Valentines day. Hopefully you have your Valentine projects completed.

For today I want to share a card that I made. I really enjoy making Valentine Cards and I really enjoyed making this one.
At first when thinking how I wanted to make this card I planned on making It a regular A2 sized rectangle card.
But as I was doing my sketch of what I wanted I decided on maybe a circle or oval would look prettier. So I decided on the oval. I just think It gives It more of a vintage feel.
I do think It turned out pretty and love that embossed border.
I made this Card for my Mom, It will be going out In the mail today. I Love making her Cards and I think she will Love this one.
Here Is a list of Items used-
Oval Die Cut shapes- Wild Card Cartridge

I just love your card! It does remind me of a vitage card. I love oval cards and I'm sure your Mom will love it. I hope you enjoyed your sleep over with the Grandkids! I always treasure these memories. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, this card is stunning! I agree with you on the oval shape, it does make it feel more vintage. But roses do too! I love the embossing around the edge of the card too, just makes it all pop. Well done! Yes, we got snow for two days then turned to rain and freezing rain. Now all the snow is covered in ice, even the poor dogs slip and slide on it. High winds here too, but supposed to lay tonight. I am ready and I am ready for warmer temps! lol Come on spring! Hugs, Brenda
