The F4A challenge was a little tricky today...we were to make a Fickled Valentine! I found my inspiration in Judy's (jaydekay) fabulous gallery...congrats on being named Queen this week!!!!! I chose her beautiful Caged Bird card to case...I used the same Tim Holtz die for the cage and bird but changed the papers, added the red, and the ribbon. I went warm/cold with the colors and a snowflake folder was used to emboss the red heart. TFL!!!

awesome shabby goodness, Joan. Love how you worked the bird cage with the crinkly trim and that homespun strip of floral papers...a lovely lovely card in honor of the Queen.
Happy New Year too.

What a great pattern/paper/color mixture - I wish I was better at that. What a great card.
