Romance for Two Challenges

The team at Snazzy's have started a new challenge and their theme is Love/Romance and as it happens the Make My Monday challenge is also on the same theme this month so this card should cover both.  Make My Monday keep their theme going for the whole month but with a slight variation in the topic each week - this time they are asking for some  love letters, script or verse so I've used the large Stampin Up En Francais text stamp to overstamp my background paper.  The main image is a lovely stamp from Indigo Blu which has been gilded using some of their flitter glue and gilding flakes which gives a brilliant result showing the finely detailed stamp.  The word is a Chocolate Baroque stamp and I added a heart embellishment made from the free gift stamp on Craft Stamper Magazine last month.

  4. I love the effect of that En Francasi stamp & the Flitter Glue with the Gilding Flakes intrigues me as I've been seeing this about. The font of 'romance' is super & I like the way those two hearts complement each other - they've both got rounded bodies.

  9. This is beautiful Val and you had me straight away with that gorgeous French script stamp on the background. I do love that IndigoBlu heart stamp too but have managed to resist so far as I have sooooooo many heart stamps, I keep telling myself I don't need it ..................... but I can feel myself weakening, lol! Thank you so much for joining the the first ever Snazzy's DT blog challenge. Good Luck!

  12. Fabulous card Val, you know I love that Indigoblu heart stamp, but I am a bit flittered out at the moment, lol! The background stamp is lovely, the font is really great, as is the CB font. It's good to see the CS cover stamp in use, as that is such a useful little stamp.
