***My guest design card for the Lawnscaping Challenge is here!***
Just four little letters. L.O.V.E. Four little letters holding the future in their hands...
Valentine's Day was created for crafters, wasn't it? According to Wikipedia, it "is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery," and get this... "sending greeting cards (known as "valentines")". Yep, there you have it, physical proof!
TiffanyDoodles is having a Valentine's challenge (all the details found here!). There are some exciting changes to the challenge and even more exciting prizes! For this combo, I started with the card using TiffanyDoodles Love Letters Digital Stamp and Krafty Klouds Digital Paper and hand dyed and wrinkled wide ribbon using May Arts White Silk Ribbon for their Sweet Nothings Challenge. To compliment the card, I altered a cappachino tin (thanks, Amy, for the grand idea) in which I decorated with the same digi stamp and paper. Its wrapped with May Arts Ivory Silk Ribbon done in the same treatment as the card. (This ribbon is nice and wide. I used an iron to un-crinkle the ribbon a bit after it was dry to get the width I desired.)
Inside the tin, I cut out little "cards" using different patterns from the Krafty Klouds Digital Paper and wrote a few notes for my husband.
So, do you hand out little notes of love?
