Love Grows

Hi dear friends,

I created this soft, pastel pink card for the Lili of the Valley challenge with the theme “Romance”. Holding thumbs that I am still in time to enter the challenge – time just flies, can’t believe it’s Wednesday already. As “love” is the buzz word this time of the year with Valentine’s Day coming up, the heart punches and dies, love sentiments and stamps have a permanent place on my crafting table. Hopefully from tomorrow I can stock up on birthday cards again!

I entered my card for the following challenges:

• Lili of the Valley Challenge #83 (ends 02/10) – Romance
• Let’s Ink it Up Challenge #9 (ends 02/28)  – Romance / Valentine’s Day
• Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #97 (ends 02/12) – Hearts Gone Wild
