Another Valentine Card......

Morning everyone, and what a cracking day it is here in Wiltshire today....cold, but with a fabulous blue sky. (still not nice enough to tempt me from my craft room though )
Todays card is my design creation for
This month we're asking for 'A Sprinkling of Red and Romance' for Valentine's Day, of course. (and there's a nice prize, but at this moment, I haven't a clue what it is, sorry)
Wouldn't it be sad if there was only love around on one day of the year though?
Anyway, here is my card......




The hearts are made from cardboard which started life as the box my new 'poppy' mugs came in. A nice bit of recycling there, dont you think?




Ribbon and pearls from my stash
The white 'linen' cardstock is from 
(of course)







I just LOVE this sentiment









Hope you like this very simple card, as much as I do......and as much as I love getting 'inky and messy', I still go back to 'Clean and Sim
ple' very regularly.
Catch you tomorrow, please leave a comment if you've
enjoyed looking.
