Valentines day card for Richard

Here is the card which I made for my husband Richard for Valentines day. I went through my stash of horded beautiful papers that I can't bear to part with and for this one used the Elegant Bouquet paper - I used the Stamp set E1012 - Key to my heart. I am sorry - neither of these items are available - but I can't get rid of them and love to use them. I KNOW you have items you feel the same way about :O)  I used the 7 Gypsies Antique Gold sealing wax and then stamped a small heart and cut it out to place in the center of it.I used the corner rounder to scallop the edges of the card. Ink colors are Cocoa,Cranberry and Desert Sand.

I was thrilled with the way it turned out - hope you like it too :O)

Key To My Heart Memory Showcase Box

Here is a Memory Showcase box which I made some time ago - I LOVE this paper - absolutely beautiful and it is such a shame that it is no longer available :O( But I thought I would share it anyway. I added Sorbet and Cocoa exclusive inks and used a Sorbet Exclusive Marker to color in the edges. I find, when I make these boxes, that it is easier to cut the paper and cardstock slightly smaller than the actual box and use markers and ink pads to distress the box itself. The flower at the top of the journalling area is actually 3 hearts and then embellished with cocoa ribbon.

Again I used the hearts and layered them at the edge of the title piece and used 3D foam squares to give dimension. Again Cocoa ribbon adds texture.

On this side panel of the box I embossed the key in Silver Embossing powder on a separate piece of cardstock and then cut it out and added it so that it looks like it is about to go into the key hole :O)
