Valentine

Hello Bloggers,

A Valentine card today, obviously :)

I have this ancient Cheery Lynn Designs Doily die, that I don't use so very often for a shameful reason - I am too lazy to fiddle with it. :-/

However, when I get enough courage and run it through the machine... like ... 10 times propping all kinds of shims at different spots, the result is gorgeous. It's a beautiful delicate doily with hearts, so appropriate for today's occasion. 

I added some gems and a bit of glitter on the smaller hearts, but not too much altogether. Some boys don't like cards addressed to them too shiny :)

 All the elements are layered on foam dots, creating the airy lacy feel and look.
