Valentine Hearts




It's time to make a few Valentine's Day Cards. 
For this card, I started with an A2 card base and then cut 1 1/2 inches off the right hand side of the front where I planned to place a row of hearts.   I used the Whoo's Your Valentine set from CTMH and Red Momento ink to stamp a dozen hearts.  I fussy cut the hearts and attached them to the card.  Next I added the sentiment from the January SOTM set, Beloved Bouquet.  So far, so good.  

I decided to add a strip of red CTMH shimmer trim behind the row of hearts.   Surprise!  When I opened the card to add the tape, I realized I had used a piece of  white CS scrap which had been stamped on the opposite side.  And that discarded stamping showed on the back of the hearts on the inside of the card.  So I stamped and fussy cut another dozen hearts for on the inside, added a few more hearts for good measure and, finally, the sentiment.  A bit of corner rounding and some baker's twine finished the card.

Challenges I am entering today:
