Love is in the Air


Good Morning Crafter's, it's been a while since I did any crafting, as I was one of the unfortunate ones to catch the nasty flu bug, which then turned into pneumonia for me, but a 5 day course of strong steroids and a new antibiotic seems to be having a good effect on removing it, now it's just a head cold again........what a way to start off the year.
Anyways I didn't make a card last week for Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration blog, but I had started my card, and finished it for this week's challenge which is USE a Flourish.
For my card I used one of the new images by Krista Smith, which was a freebie for 24 hours but is now available in her shop. It's perfect for Valentine's Day. Sentiment is from Magnolia, and I shaped the rectangle with some jagged edges.
I did the same thing for the edging around the image. She's been colored with Copics,Promarkers,Flexmarkers and I've used Viva Decor Pen for the little pearl drops.
In the right hand corner I've used one of the lovely corner dies from Lace Corner Deco B set.



 I'm not sure what you call this style of card, I think it's a Criss Cross Flip Card, but I enjoyed making it and the size of it is 7.5 inches x 7.5 inches. I've added the Fanciful Flourish and the Mini Flourish One dies behind the image, ribbon from my stash. The lovely Kate Edger border along the two sides at the back.
Inside the flip card I've used three sentiment dies, Happy, Valentine's and Day. These dies are all in sets of two, so perfect for both cards and Scrapbooking.
