This one is for Allison's imaginative Sketch Challenge. Creative play is fine as long as the design is still noticeable. I made the circle into a larger heart to accommodate a favorite Valentine sentiment. I love the font. The strip across has "I love you" heat embossed in silver. One way to lightly stamp in the background is with VersaMark ink as it creates a watermark. It is especially nice on a darker cardstock. I added a key from my stash, as I'm giving this to my Valentine who holds the key to my heart.
My card is also for Barbara's Color Challenge: Real Red, Whisper White and silver with a Valentine for dessert. '
Fun challenges! TFL

The way you combined these two challenges has made for one great card!! I love the big heart on the edge like that with all the little ones around it. The silver framing the large heart look really nice also.

Oh yes, that font is gorgeous! I really like the shadowy hearts in the background. Thanks for the reminder about watermark stamping. I haven't done that for ages and it is so effective here! Beautiful card!
