Welcome to my corner of blog-dom.
Here in the Antipodes we do not celebrate Valentines to the extent of some other countries, but I do get to make a couple of Valentines cards most years.
Here is one that I have completed this year.

I started with a sheet of black 'lace' adhesive die cut paper which I mounted over a layer of red,and then black, then white.
The really difficult part was applying the glue in the tiny spaces and then the glitter.
The sentiment was computer generated and layered on black and red card, and mounted with foam dots.
I even stamped the inside!!
The final photo gives some idea of the sparkle - and I am still finding glitter everywhere - I was once quoted
"Glitter glitter everywhere, even in my hubby's hair"
I nearly made that one with this card!!

Love those glittery hearts!!
ReplyDeleteThe red, black and glitter looks great together. My husband has banned glitter from our house as he doesn't like finding it everywhere! Kindy Glitz is borderline, but a slightly safer option for me :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Maxine. I must admit I don't usually make Valentine cards, but I like yours. It is a real 'labour of love' to apply all that glitter so carefully.
ReplyDeleteI have just become a follower. I thought I was one ages ago, but I realised that I don't get to see your posts very often!
Thank you for being such a faithful follower of mine. I look forward to seeing what else you make now. Kate x
This is a really cool card, Maxine. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card. Love your creative use of the heart paper and all the sparkles.
ReplyDeleteAll the extra time on applying the adhesive and glitter really paid off! Beautiful valentine day card Maxine. Hope you and hubby are doing well!
