More love in the air!

This card is my Valentine for John (gosh, it's done early this year!). I used the sentiments paper by DCWV and a piece of BG two scoops on the right hand side, plus a couple of strips of ribbon. The 'I followed my heart' sentiment was done on computer.

The hearts are chipboard, so I'm submitting the card for Deanne's challenge 20 on Rosiedee this week.

I swiped the chipboard hearts with versamark and covered in UTEE to give a bit more body. I then (with difficulty, because the hearts were thick) ran then through my big shot with the D'vine swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then swiped all over with an ink red pad, covered with clear embossing powder and heated. Because the UTEE was underneath the embossing, when I heated the top layer, some of the base layer melted a bit more and blended the swirls. I didn't intend to do this, but quite like the effect, even though it was a mistake.

As I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder, this card fits the love theme on the Cuttlebug challenge this week.

The challenge on Created by hand this week is to use a love quote, so I've done this - and last week's challenge on there was to use red or pink, so, even though it's officially late, I'm linking for that also.

OCC this week has the theme of 'crazy for hearts', so I think it fits this - although I didn't do any actual stamping, I used embossing powders and inks, so I hope it qualifies.

And last, but not least, Arty Girlz challenge 71 is red and white, so this fits there too.
