No soppy stuff ....

.... here!!!

Well that's a big lie. Keryn's dare this week on Daring Cardmakers is:

"My dare for this one is the predictable, someone had to do it, theme of Valentines. Although I don't want you to feel you just have to make Valentines Day cards, feel free to make a card fitting any theme you like as long as it has a heart somewhere on it. Stamped hearts, punched hearts, diecut hearts, heart embellishments, cut from patterned paper, whatever, whenever as long as it has the right shape".

Now I just happened (yet again, cough cough!!) to have made this card a few weeks ago. Started with my new set of Hero Arts heart stamps which are very yummy, and BG Scarlet's Letter paper which was the first paper I HAD to have when I got into this crafting lark and I still love!!! And then after a lot of stamping, embossing and an awful lot of inking, I had this!!! DH will be surprised to receive such a lavish Valentine's card - or suspicious!!!! Ha ha ha!!!

It was a sunny afternoon and I hoped the light would be good for the photo - but, thanks to my neighbour's accursed new extension - I don't think I'll get good photos any more even in high summer. Grrrr! (OK, everyone Irish reading this knows there's no such thing as high summer here!)
