A Sophisticated And Stylish Love Card

Sophisticated Love Card with Flowers

Happy WOYWW To You!

This Valentine’s Day, I celebrate 17 years of marriage with the man I love.

As I count down the moments to this special day, I am covertly creating tokens of romance and love…

One of my favorite creations this week was this beautiful love card, which I created with my husband in mind.

Love Card
I wanted to design a card that was sophisticated and elegant in its presentation – qualities my husband appreciates – so, I chose the stylish yet neutral color palette of Red, Kraft and Black plus White to convey that message (Top Tip Tuesday).

I also added some of my favorite Close To My Heart products into the mix for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge – Love the CTMH Way, along with a few additional embellishments specifically chosen for the rich texture they provide.

Here are a few of the products I used:

  • CTMH Much Love Stamp – which I also used in my Much Love Card!
  • CTMH Ink Pads, Floral Ribbon, Mini Brads
  • Maya Road Felt Flowers
  • K & Company Life’s Journey Stitched Ribbon

    Beautiful card! I’m sure your hubby will love it. I still have to make my hubby a Valentines card, today I made my Mom a birthday card as her birthday is tomorrow. So next is the Valentines card! So nice that you got married on Valentines Day! Happy Anniversary! Your fur baby is very cute, and so nice how he works right beside you! I have one too, but she just waits for things to fall on the floor, as they inevitably do when my workspace is about 6 square inches! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #60

      Hi Pat,

      So glad you stopped by – thanks for the complement! I love visiting challenge blogs – seeing what inspires me and what coincides with whatever projects I may be working on at the moment – and sharing them with the other crafters and artists in my creative community. The list is updated each week so – if it is listed with my project – it means I am participating in the challenge!

      Have a wonderful day!

    I love your card, it is so elegant and chic – just beautiful. What a beautiful crafty mate as well – we have two furbabies but Blossom is the one who sits on my desk when I am crafting and just pops a paw out to knock the odd stamp or ink pad off onto the floor! She also loves sitting on my creations when they are on my desk! Thank you so much for entering the Crafty Calendar (Anything Goes) challenge this month, lots of luck to you.

    Hugs Sue Pxxx DT
