Today I have two more recycled, vintage Valentines to share. Of course, the one with the kittens has to come first. -D
This time, I fussy cut the kittens and added them to a heart shaped doily with dimensional tape. I found two scraps of red dp from a stack by Paper House, and used those to cover the front of a square card base. The doily went on top of that and I added a red, epoxy flower with a heart in the middle. The bow is one of my signature, hand-sewn bows with a pearl.

The second card has a fantastic image of a Victorian lady with roses.
The deep, pink card front is dry embossed and I used a scrap of white lace threaded with a piece of pink, satin ribbon and layered those along the left side of the card front.

I cut the image from the original card with a QuicKutz rectangle die. The "frame" behind it was a negative left over from cutting out a frame with a die from Spellbinders. I took that piece, cut it diagonally, and offset the pieces behind the image. That piece was previously embossed but I don't remember which of my embossing folders was used.
