I've done a few Valentine cards using recycled and vintage images since things are still not completely accessible after all the boxing up and reorganizing. Most of the markers and colored pencils are still put away and my printer use is somewhat limited. But I am loving the entire box of vintage Valentines which were given to me several years ago and which got set aside during the last move. I found them a few weeks ago and they have been put to great use during this year's turmoil.
Expect to see several vintage Valentine cards over the next couple of weeks.
I thought this image was adorable with the little girl and her faithful dog. I cut the old card, used a Spellbinders die to cut the image into a rectangle, then punched it with a Fiskars' corner punch. I used scraps of red paper on a kraft card base, and layered on a scrap piece of wide, wired, sparkly, silver ribbon before adding the image piece. That ribbon and the flowers gave the card some really great texture!
The ribbon of embroidered daisy flowers with pink centers came from my stash.

This is darling. That daisy trim is the ultimate retro trim for this card. Sorry to hear you had to move again. I have been out of touch with you. I wish all the best for 2019. Hugs, Teresa
