CC513 - This weeks colors include Basic Grey, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush.
Dessert: Something new-some ideas would be a new years card, or a new stamp, die or ribbon.
I first added basic grey to the gear emboss folder then ran it through the big shot. Next I distressed the edges and mounted on the basic grey card stock. Next I embossed the Bermuda Bay with the striped EF then lightly added basic grey and distressed the "boy" heart. Next the strawberry shush was embossed with a heart EF then the hearts were lightly colored with the grey and the "girl" heart was distressed. I die cut a gear out of silver shimmer and popped it up on dimensionals for the "boy" heart and used a gem for the "girl" heart.
This will be my DH's Valentine card.
The new items are the gear and heart EFs and the banner is new from my HYCCT win from Paper Smooches. Thank you Paper Smooches!
I look forward to seeing what you create with this weeks colors!
Edit: So funny story...Initially I this card that to give to my DH. Well after putting together my MIX104 card, I messaged my SIL and said hey, your DH is a mechanic...so thankfully she said she would take this card for him. I hate to have a good card go to waste.
Thank you for looking!

this is such a great valentine's card Lisa-I really like the boy and girl heart idea (creative) - I like using non-traditional colors for valentines day and I see you do as well
