Love, Love, Love


This week at Crafty Cardmakers it is a "Love" themed challenge. I made this love card for my husband for our wedding anniversary. 

I had fun making this card and I hope my hubby will enjoy it. The heart on the card was hand drawn, the sentiment, star  banner  and butterfly were die cuts.  For colour on my card I used several colours of distress inks and thick embossing enamel.  The script on the heart is an very old Italian poem rubber stamp by Hero Arts.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week. Remember to stop by our challenge blog to see the beautiful creations that the design team have made to inspire you.
