Valentine's Day Palace


Hello my friends,

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  Before the game gets underway, I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you using some Memory Box supplies.  I wanted to create a subtle background using the Adornment stencil.  A piece of Very Vanilla paper was cut to size; I placed the stencil over it and spritzed the background using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Iridescent Gold - Ooh La La, how pretty!  It's extremely difficult to see in the photo, but the pattern is there.


Next, I cut and assembled the Palace Oval Frame and popped it up off the background.  A precious heart was cut from Pink Pirouette paper.  Of course, I had to add some Star Dust Stickles to it.  A silver rhinestone accents the bow.  The word love was cut using an Elizabeth Craft Designs die.  I like how it fits perfectly in the frame.


Happy Valentine's Day was stamped and embossed using Close to Cocoa ink.  The little heart was filled with Cotton Candy Stickles.  I thought it needed something else so I added a musical note.


Enjoy the game tonight.  I really don't care which team wins.  Do you have a favorite?  We are going to a friend's house who always puts on a spread.

They are predicting more snow this evening.  Here's hoping the drive to work in the morning won't be too bad.

Oh Donna this is just beautiful! What a great wedding card this would make too ... mind if I case??
Stay warm and careful out there. Here in Ohio we have around 6-8" which is enough for sure but I know people in Indiana/Michigan are measuring their snow accumulations in feet vs inches! Uuugh come on Springtime! Thanks for wonderful inspiration!

Your cards are so beautiful Donna, do you mind me asking, what do you do with all the cards you are making? Do you sell them? Give them away? Or just collect them for yourself? You must have made hundreds! Just me being curious!
