Ok - now that I got that exciting news off my chest - here's a Valentine for you!
What a fun Technique challenge over on Split Coast - to make a paper quilt.

I layed out my 1" squares of designer papers, glued them to a square of card stock and then cut them with a heart nestability. I layered the quilted heart to a piece of cream textured Bazzill card stock cut with the scalloped heart nestability.

I stamped the stitching from the Waltzingmouse Off Beat Backgrounds set with Versamark and embossed it in clear EP. Then I tied a piece of twine around the heart and added a vintage button. I off set the heart and placed the sentiment in the right corner. Both are on foam dimensionals.

I attached a cream heart to the inside of my card so I would be able to write a salutation and decorated it with a few little hearts punched from the same designer papers I used on the "quilt". The sentiment is from the brand new Waltzingmouse set called Sweethearts. Check yesterday's post below to see more of the beautiful stamps from this set!
