Shabby Valentine

Rise and Shine Sunshine!  It's a beautiful day here in VA and I have a quick card to share this morning.  I pulled some colors that I've been wanting to use and a product I haven't used in FOREVER! 

I started with  Sahara Sand cardstock.  The card base is 4 x 4.  I used my Music Notes wheel on the Pink Pirouette cardstock and then adhered it to the Sahara Sand.  Now don't look to close to those silly music notes.  I never know if they are they upside down???  Can you tell I am totally musically talented.  Ummmm…NO!  I added a small strip of Vellum Cardstock.  I literally had to brush off the dust bunnies from the Vellum.  What is WRONG with me??? I love Vellum.  It's been forever.  We reconnected. <3

Before adding the Vellum I did wrap my Victoria Lace around it and roughed the edges of the Vellum. Oh that makes me squeal.  It's so SHABBY!  The Lace is only attached using the Vintage Trinket Brads.  They are so small and also so SHABBY!!  I stamped the Be My Valentine heart onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Sahara Sand and cut it out.  I stamped it AGAIN…. yummy… using Soft Suede ink and only cut out the Be My Valentine and attached it using snail.  I just wanted a little contrast.  I attached this piece using dimensionals.  Lastly it just had to have a button with a little Linen Thread.  I did sew the button onto the lace but you could always use a Mini Glue Dot.

The Prince has racked up a nice collection of Valentines….

Time for me to clean the pit of a stamp room I have going on.  How does this happen?  I have about a 6 x 6" space on my desk that I can work with right now.  Not workin' for me.  Time to clean and put away some toys.  The good news is it means I've been very productive. 

For the locals in Northern VA I have events on the schedule for later this month you don't want to miss out on.  They are going to be fun and we will get silly stamping.  It's a requirement in my stamp room.

Happy Hump Day!
