Love always~


And yesterday afternoon's 3rd set of 10, a little red, white and blue Valentine.

I worked and reworked the navy base several times until I remembered an old Scrapblock from the defunct Cornish Heritage Farms* that was a perfect compliment to the small grid stamp on the image panel.  Distressed Grid was inked up in white craft ink and stamped on navy cardstock.

The sentiment and grid are from Wplus9's Sweet Nothings; the heart, white craft ink on red cardstock and cut with the coordinated die from Hearts and Clouds, is from Heartfelt Mix.

Finished card is 4.25" x 4.25"

Supplies not mentioned above:
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Vivid! Inky Blue, SU! Craft White
Paper: Neenah Solar White, SKD Lipstick Red, SU! Night of Navy
Other: Black and white gingham ribbon, 1/8" hole punch, Navy eyelet (to tie ribbon thru), Corner rounder, Dimensional foam

*The original Cornish Heritage Farms went out of business a while ago, however, I've recently read that many of the images have been purchased and that there is a new CHF website that offers them in a digital format:
