Welcome
Here in the Antipodes we do not have the emphasis on Valentines that other parts of the world do, so I only make one card - for my dear husband.
I also 'taught' this one at card class this month.
I started by masking the card and sponging the circle in Barn Door DI.
The heart was a Marianne Die which I cut and embossed, then added the one rhinestone after mounting it on foam dots.
The sentiment was stamped using a now discontinued stamp from Layers of Color, and the strip of stripped washi tape finished the card.
I am linking this to:
Three stripes, three words, three layers on the feature, ink, die cut and rhinestone.
Thank you for visiting my blog - may your day be blessed.

You may only make _one_ Valentine, but you sure aced it with this one. Love the CAS but sparkling design, Your sponging and blending is just so smooth & perfectly done. Looks smashing with the embossed white heart, and that one gleaming jewel. Love the trio of stripes as a border. TFS & Happy Valentines D.
One card is all you need when it's this pretty! Lovely card and that's a beautiful heart.

I like the CAS-style on this one and that MD-heart-die is still one of my favorites; a beautiful card! Enjoy the weekend!

What a lovely card for hubby Maxine. Honestly you aren't missing out on much, I think it's quite the overdone holiday and my hubby and I quit celebrating it years ago. I make him a card to show off at the office and he buys me a lovely craft item. No muss no fuss, no waiting in lines. lol. hugs :)
What a great CAS card design!

A wonderful card Maxine, beautifully done!
Growing up in Europe, Valentine's Day wasn't really celebrated in my area. Now that I live in the US I bake Valentines cupcakes for my hubby :-) But we don't really do anything special. Sadly I feel like every holiday here nowadays is being so commercialized that sometimes I am glad when they are over...
Simple, but elegant. Great card. Love the embossing on the heart. Hugs, Maggie
Eye Catching beauty the image is simply fab. Thanks for joining in on the fun over at Aud Sentiment Challenge. We look forward to seeing you again.

This is an awesome CAS design, Maxine! Very elegant...So blessed you joined our bi-weekly Challenge at Word Art Wednesday and hope you join us again for a new Challenge that started yesterday. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word in Isaiah 40:8 which tells us, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."
Have a blessed week,
