If you know me at all, you know I adore hearts; I truly love, love! I can use hearts all year long for any occasion, I know this seems as a Valentines card, but it is just an everyday card for me. I have used a embossing folder for the black card base, luv the distressed look of it. I then used the super sweet clearly besotted stamp set called mini love hearts....sweeeet! I added some red and white bakers twine and the darlin sentiment from the clearly besotted set, sweet little sentiments. Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!

mojo monday/mojo417-latte love




I had such fun with this card, Julee is giving away a free digi of this set, get yours here! You have until October 15 to pick it up. I used my Zig clean color markers to color it in, had to use plain white paper. Water color paper would not run through my Espen printer. I added a few gold gems to each of the leaves...total luv...*grin*. I luv using watercoloring on backgrounds. I use all sorts of stuff to get a different looks; stencils, craft sheet, stamping block, and even my fingers....lol. Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!
