I was going for a country feel on my Valentine's Day card, so I used a fun cover-up die from My Favorite Things that looks like a quilt. I used a red and white gingham patterned paper and red and white card stock. I added a stitched scallop border to anchor the sentiment and a couple of crimped hearts. The sentiment reminds me of an old Captain and Tennille song. lol I know my husband will get a kick out of it. The "love" die cut was tripled and embossed in black to make it shiny. I added a red heart in the middle and a diamond gem. Thanks for coming by to look!
