Hello crafty friends. I’ve been making a few more Valentine’s cards and decided to go for a bit of a different look with this one. Black & white isn’t the usual colour scheme for a Valentine’s card, but I was inspired by the chalkboard photo over at Fusion, which I’ve teamed with the layout from The Paper Players and the new theme from Global Design Project

I started by cutting the words from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘love you more than’ die set in white card and glued them onto a piece of black card, which I then attached to a 5×7 card blank.

I then die cut the sentiment in black and stuck it to a topper I’d cut from the ‘tasteful labels’ dies. That then went onto the card front using foam pads. I was cross with myself though – if I’d planned it a bit better I would have left the top ‘chocolate’ off so it wasn’t obscured by the topper!

I finished it with a few red die cut and Glossies hearts.

Thanks for dropping in. I’ve had a lovely day with an online craft class this morning (although I did have to do work meetings this afternoon). Still, I’ve got several cards made, which always makes me feel better.
