The Cuttlebug embossing folder was used with the card sticking out of the bottom and the folder also sticking out of the plates of my Big Shot so there wasn't a line where the embossing ended. This left room for the fabulous sentiment by Avery Elle which I stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with white detail powder. The little die cut hearts are Spellbinders. The sentiment is popped up on sticky pads.
Its a very simple card but I like the way it turned out and I wanted it to be all about the sentiment!
I would like to enter the following challenges:
That's Crafty - First Love
Pixies Snippets Playground - Use Snippets (my hearts were cut from tiny snippets of card from my bit box).
Both of these are fabulous blogs - well worth a visit!
Thank you so much for popping by to visit me! I appreciate it so very much!
Take care, Christine xxx

Perfect Valentine's Day card for your hubby! Great sentiment too, I can see why you wanted that to be the focus.

Love your valentine, Chris! It will be considered by most as CAS, but I have to go a step further and say "simple elegance!" The white hearts are a striking element against the red, as is your touching sentiment! Perfect!
