This is my card for the LSC, I was given this stamp along with many others by a lady at the first Markets I went to to sell my cards...she doesn't use them anymore (probably not since the 80's) and wanted me to have them...I wasn't sure if I would ever use it BUT this is the perfect opportunity!!!
I have used red as much as I can, hearts all over the place and my flowers I have coloured with red too, but it is just soaking in and turning out more pink-ish!!! The colours aren't showing up as much I would like them to, this is actually more red than pink...but I have given up fiddling with it!!
The adorabe corners are from Susan (aka One4Joy) inside her Cristmas Card - thanks Susan...I love them, as you would know...I have a thing for corners and these are fantastic and certainly go with this card!!
I haven't really done the valentine thing before, but have decided this year to make some for the elderly at an Old People's Home where a friend of mine works. We took our kids in there last week so they could visit with them...one lovely old lady called Lillian looked at me, took my hand and said with such meaning "will you have me!?!?" Awwww yes dear Lillian I would if only I could...this card is for her and I am asking some friends to make some so we can get enough for these dear Nana's and Poppy's to have a card on Valentines Day - gotta spread the love around!!
Thanks for looking, your comments are greatly appreciated!

Well, just look at you using an image from the 80's or who knows, maybe even before that. It does just happen to be perfect for this challenge. Love those hearts everywhere, too. Great hardware and corner treatments!
