This weekend we moved my daughter into a fresh new apartment, slept a lot and then watched the Super Bowl until I had a card idea. My daughter's boyfriend always says "shh, I have a secret" my daughter says "what" he says "I love you!" I love that about him. So I looked at my stamp Shh Now from Crafts and Me and it fit my daughter and boyfriend perfectly for a Valentine Card.
You can barely see the paper from Authentique "smitten" in the background with all the doily and flowers I have. Never too much bling.
A close up of my florals, pin, Heidi Swap heart and Sheri Baldys heart die.
The pearls are from Prima. Magnolia doohickey heart and banner die. I wrote the "Shh, I have a secret" on the banner, wished my handwriting was better.
Inside of the card with Authentique papers and Magnolia doohickey tag.
Shh Now is colored in Copics and fussy cut. I used a flat gray paper to fill in.
My camera had a hard time with the bold red and black, kept washing out the color.
As for this week we are packing our son, wife and their 2 dogs, they leave on Wednesday, then I will be sad! They are going to Florida where it is warm and sunny. Only 3 kids at home now!
Thank you for stopping by today,
Kelly
