It needed to be reasonably masculine so thought my NBUS bird die from Concord and 9th was suitably non-feminine! And no pink or frills or lace!
I die cut the birds out of the card front and then backed it with red cs. Out of the same red, I die cut a few tiny hearts to place between the birds. And stamped the sentiment in red with another tiny heart beside it.
It was made with these challenges in mind:
The Male Room - a masculine Valentine
Double D Challenge - "hearts of any colour"
Thanks for coming by today!
Susan, I think you hit this challenge right on the head! Well designed and perfectly constructed, charming and sincere, but not a drop of sticky-sweet anywhere. Great card!
