I used the sketch to create a Valentine's Day card.

I was looking at my new MFT LLD Document It stamp sets and the "I Love Us" stamp from Off the Chart really caught my eye. It might just be serendipity, but James Taylor was rotating through on my playlist as I was working and before you know it "winter, spring, summer & fall" from the Days and Dates stamp set were on my acrylic block and I was testing ink colors to see if I could create a background for my sentiment panel.

I didn't take me long to decide on the Spun Sugar Distress Ink for the background stamping. The "I Love Us" stamp was easy to mask and stamp on top of this.

My little shell heart button was picked up at a local scrapbook store and helps anchor the tag made with a couple of die-namics from the LLD Accent It: Labels and Tabs set. The "100%" stamp is also from Off the Chart.

A border was die-cut with the Die-namics Faux Crochet Border and topped with a piece of lace tape. The designer papers are from either Crate Paper's Fourteen 6x6 pad or Basic Grey Kissing Booth. A few pearls form my stash and a piece of linen thread on the button are the finishing touches.

So there you have it, my "Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall I Love Us 100%" card - I think this one is going to my husband!

Thanks for stopping by,
