Don’t ask the question …

… if you don’t want to hear the answer!  I asked DH if he thought this card was too girly.  He wrinkled his nose.  “I think so.”  Naturally, it’s my Valentine to him, which I told him, and we laughed.  Frankly, I thought it looked rather sophisticated and maybe a little sexy.  Oh well, it’s finished, it’s got a gushy message inside, and there you have it!

I’m on a long-card kick, which is my February card challenge for my campers.  (Do you have a camp scheduled on your calendar?  Check here for what’s coming up.)

This card simply uses layered punched elements.  I smooshed a scrap of Real Red into VersaMark, then heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice (a technique called Faux Diamond Dust or Dazzling Diamond Dust).  The small heart punchies add just a bit of bling.  It’s difficult to see (here and IRL) the pierced edge on the BB along the bottom.
