Non-Traditional Valentine Colors

The challenge at Joan's Gardens this week is to use non-traditional colors.  I decided to go with blue and brown.  The DP is Life's Journey from K&Co.  I was intending to go to town to buy some roses but winter hit with full force and so I made a flower from some used dryer sheets.  The small flowers are painted with 'Sage' Creative Inspirations paint.  The die is Spellbinder's 'Contemporary Hearts'.  I placed two of the little punch outs on the ribbon.  The little rose and sentiment stamp is a dollar stamp from Michaels.


One of my goals this year is to keep my cards smaller.  I needed to add lace to my card but found that my card was beginning to look cluttered.  And then it occurred to me that I need to start decorating the inside of my card.  So I added the lace and my sentiment on the inside, as well as the optional key.

 Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
