I have two posts today, both dealing with Love, Hearts, and Valentines. For this first one, I used one of my favorite rose images which is from Fitztown. I do love roses, both the real ones that grow in my garden and stamps of roses which I love to color. I have lots of rose images but this one is my favorite of all. There is something delightfully simple about it.
The image is colored with ProMarkers (rose) and chalks (leaves), and then cut with a die from Spellbinders. In fact, everything paper has been in my "hoarding" stash and even the butterfly is cut with a die that I've never used in the 3 years I've owned it ! I've used the other two in that particular Spellbinders set, but never this smallest one. The die cut heart is another one I finally used this year -- having dug out that set and cut a dozen or more hearts in different sizes for use on my Valentine cards. Even the CS for the card base was in the "hoarded" stack. :-D
The border pieces are cut with a Cheery Lynn die, one of my new favorites which I've used lots of times in the last month or so!

Challenges: (lots of them this time since there are so many with "love" or "hearts" or "Valentines" as the theme.)
Another post will be up this afternoon so I hope you'll come by and have a look at it, too. I do appreciate all your visits and encouraging comments. Tomorrow will be time for another of my DT projects for The Outlawz and Friday is always set aside for QKR Stampede. See you then. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
