Amber gave us a wonderful challenge today. Non Traditional Valentines, no flowers or hearts, no reds or pinks. I can do that!
I just adore this DP from a Butcher Block 8x8 sky & sage paper pad. The shading and script were on the DP. I stamped the Word Diamonds in Faded Jeans in the center and sponged the edges with weathered wood. The cream layer is a Word Squares stamp that was inked with Weathered wood, torn to leave just 4 squares and sponged with Old Paper distress ink. The Love Block was stamped on Kraft using Black soot and I used a sponge dauber to shade with weathered wood. The letters are 3/4" sq. and are on dimensional foam tape. The Word Tags 3" punch is sponged with Tea Dye and so is the card base. DP, stamps, inks and word tag punch are available from Rubbernecker Stamp Co.

Beautiful Valentine and not a heart in sight. Love the blue lavender hue to the backgroud, that is nice DP. I like the torn edges and the sentiment stamped on the twill tape. Really nice job Shel.
