It's the 15th of the month, and I am hoping you had a lovely Valentine's Day. I had to start the day at the dentist. Not the most romantic way to get the day going, but it was nice to get my teeth cleaned.
It's time for a new challenge at Dies R Us Challenges. The theme is Valentines/Love. Use a die sold in the Dies R Us Store, follow the theme, and you are all set to link up.
My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary, and this was the card I made him for the occasion:
I did both some inking and some paper piecing on this Create-a-Card die from Crafter's Companion. It's called Forever Yours. I inked the trees, fence, flowers, and hearts using Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I paper pieced both outfits. I tied the swing to the tree using some jute twine from May Arts. Although you can't see it in the picture, there is a piece of clear acetate that I used for the card front. The scene is glued to it to give it stability.
I hope you join us these next 2 weeks at Dies R Us Challenges for our Valentines/Love challenge. Valentine's Day may be over, but we can always send some love around.
This is wonderful and would be perfect for so many occasions. That Crafters Companion die set is now on my wish list :-)
