This is a busy week and I will not be making many Valentines. This is special - our friends celebrated their 50th anniversary last summer. However, Mary Lou's health is declining - there may not be another anniversary. So I thought a special valentine is called for. The image is from my WishRAK stash - but I like the old fashioned look. I distressed the bg layer to go with that. I colored with Prismas and shiny gel pens. I added Stickles to the red heart, and some glitter to the doily like inner heart. I fussy cut (well, it was not very fussy!!) the image. The pink layer is embossed with hearts (Cuttlebug) and I used a Spellbinder scallop border die with embossing (can't see it? ... next to the twine). The letters are cut from a LifeStyle Crafts set (hello, good by), and the greeting is JustRite.
