NBUS Masculine Valentine



I was  in Michaels the other day with a 40% off coupon in my hand and everything on my shopping list was on sale. So of course I had to keep shopping and find something not on sale that I just had to have (and use my coupon on.) I found this fun heart wood pattern background stamp by Recollections (which is Michael's brand.) I decided it would make a cool masculine Valentine. I stamped it in a reddish brown and attached to a brown card base. I just bought the Braid Border set of dies from Dee's Distinctively and used two of them in a cool pattern along the side of the card front with some brown pearls in the intersections. I punched out some hearts in brown and kraft and the love (from W Plus 9) in dark brown.

I am entering this card in the Something New challenge at Top Tip Tuesday (background stamp and braid border die are both brand new), and the Love or Valentine challenge at Crafty Sentiments.

    What a lucky find with that wood heart pattern. It is a perfect masculine background for a wonderful Valentine design. Sure wish I had some places around here that had good bargains or even any stamping supplies that amount to anything. It is very limited so that is why I ordered all mine online. I am sure you will find many ways to use that background again.
