Today's card is a blatant CASE of this fabulous card by Kim. I loved her take on the Freshly Made Sketch using a neutral striped paper and pops of colour in the flowers. Oh, and the touch of embossing in the negative circle - fabulous!
I kept the same neutral background, though mine had a bit more of a graphic feel to it based on the paper I used, and then added the pops of red for colour with my double hearts and added button to complete my "rule of three". I also embossed my negative circle for some added dimension. Thanks for the inspiration, Kim!
Hard to believe I celebrated another year of wisdom gained on Wednesday. How did I get this old LOL! Not sure, but loving each day I've been given - carpe diem! Feeling very blessed with two amazing teenagers, a loving husband, a fabulous part time job, and of course, this tiny part of cyber space that brings me great joy. Lots of wonderful things to celebrate besides age wink, wink!
Thanks for brightening my days, and I look forward to sharing another year of card making with you :)

This is so sharp Marisa, from the inset layers to the embossing and patterns with the pop of red - it’s lovely!
Love how the red totally pops against the lighter bg. Really great card - one of my faves. Hugz
This is super elegant. I love the hearts in the center.
Bear Hugs,

Must've commented in my head...I thought I had left some love for this card already! Ha! That happens to me a lot. Get it in my email, think, "Oooo, great mix of patterns, sketch, stamps" and think I've already let you know!
So glad you are enjoying your job, Marisa. :)
Fabulous Valentine card!
