Perfect Valentine colors for today's challenge! I couldn't find the right color of red, so mine may be a little darker. For my neutrals, I used ivory and a sand colored ridged paper.
On ivory c/s, I used markers to ink my two plaid stamps and made the plaid bg and also a smaller piece for the letters O & V. I used the dot bg for the L & E then stamped the stacked love image on top and cut them out. I stamped the Love again onto the sand c/s and attached the patterned letters.
The postage frame was made by die cutting a large square then die cutting the postage frame inside it. The little heart button was die cut 3 time and glued together for a little height. I dyed the (white) ribbon w/ one of the markers. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Just seeing that bg dp, I would not have guessed it would look this good on your Valentine card! But it all looks very nice, and I like your paper piecing!
