Happy Valentine's Day

This Valentine's card is for two challenges.

First, I've used the sketch at the Inspired By Challenge#372 here. I was also inspired by the colors of the cute mittens, especially the red gingham. I'm very partial to red and gingham, lol!

Then it's for Just Add Ink#777 here. It's a Just Add Something Seasonal and Valentine season is coming up so I'm making lots of Valentine cards.

Endless Love is the stamp set with some Cute as a Bug DSP and some Lovely Blossoms DSP.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Endless Love

Papers: White, Poppy Parade, Cute as a Bug DSP, Lovely Blossoms DSP

Inks: Poppy Parade

Accessories: Textured Notes dies, Dear Dots, Endless Love dies, Stampin dimensionals

This year it was Arizona where it was in the 70's and sunny. We returned to frigid temps- it's currently a temp of -13 and feels like -37! It's a Cold Day for schools so I'm off from subbing too! More time to play with my newly arrived goodies!
