Valentine Inspired

This week Im featuring a gorgeous new paper collection called Romance from Craftwork Cards.
I love this colour combination of hot pink, deep romantic red and grey papers that are foiled in silver. Over the next few days you will see an assortment of different combinations, but today Im starting with a bit of everything all mixed up together.

Now I dont make many Valentines cards, in fact I only make one if I make any, but this card could be used for a wedding card or an anniversary card too.



I cut little squares of different patterned papers, some of you will know I love this design for cards and use it often. Its also a great way to use up scraps of papers. I used Craftwork Cards perfect petals 1 template to create the two different sized hearts. I love this template and use it alot along with the other perfect petals 2 template to create flowers, trees, hearts and more.
I hand wrote on the back of a mini message and finished with some card candy.



A close up shot of the finer details.

Another card created using the Romance collection tomorrow.
