Dawn - Interesting challenge BUT for some reason I don't think I'm quite "gettin" it? Dah but true! Last Mon. I began pariticpating in challenges, after being absent for over a month. Can I be "rusty" already? Haha! So ... I'm thinking 'Okay, fickle is a synonym for "woman" as in "unpredictably changeable (heehee!), so how do I translate that to a Valentine's card? Hmmmm.' WELL, since we are having our first "real" snow storm of the winter, I decided to make a card that combined two opposites--sunshine and snow/warmth and cold. Hope that kinda coincides w/the challenge?!?! Except maybe the Valentine's part. Unless of course, it happens to snow on Valentine's Day then I can stamp "Happy Valentine's Day" inside. Giggle.
De-bossed PTI card base w/Tim Holz snowflake folder (SU white kraft ink.) De-bossed Michael's white w/same folder (SU white kraft + night of navy), trimmed and cut in three pcs. Distressed edges w/night of navy. On PTI yellow, in Ranger Medium stamped sun, heat embossed w/fine gold powder. Distressed edges and face of sun w/Ranger wild honey. Mounted on Walmart black. Wrote sentiment "You are my Sun in winter's storm" on PTI yellow, distressed w/Ranger wild honey. Put card together according to sketch and added Making Memories antique brass, fancy filagree, square brads.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Perfect for the challenge...don't think you're rusty at all! I've been MIA for the past month on and off and know what you mean, but you really did rock this challenge!

This is such a creative take on today's challenge, I just couldn't think outside the box enough! And your sentiment is very beautiful, romantic, and meaningful!

Love your summer/winter card....and I think you did a GREAT job with the challenge. I'm a big fan of "sun faces" and I really like yours. How you colored it really seems to emit heat!
