An oldie but goodie

Things around the homefront have been busy and my craftroom is seeing a lot of action. Well, actually my sewing machine is cranking. I am working on an adorable little boutique style top for my daughter to wear this Fall. It's not something I can make in a day or two (when time is limited) so I thought I would share a card I made my hubby for Valentine's Day. Yes, it is that old, but he keeps the cards that I make him on his desk at work, so when one of them comes home, it makes me happy to see my creation again.

I was inspired by this card created by Laurie Willison over at soapboxcreations.  This was a great card to CASE. I knew my hubby would not want anything frilly and I liked the simple layout of her card. I chose to keep the center cardstock plain, but used my Linen impression plate from PTI to add some depth. The sentiment is from Fillable frames #10 that I stamped in True Black ink on Pure Poppy cardstock along with the die cut frame.  I added 3 brads underneath to help ground it. I had just received my Heart Prints Collection dies and was eager to use the adorable tiny heart. I used it to die cut True Black cardstock. Heart Prints was one of the first PTI sets I owned and I have always glittered up the swirly flower heart stamp image, even for the boys (wink).
