We have another Valentine's Day card to share with you today. This one is from Sr. Creative Director Carolyn Peeler. Here's what she has to say about it:
I wanted to make something that was still vintage and pretty, but that I could also get away with giving to my sweet heart for the holiday. I don't know that he will particularly care for the little Victorian boy - in fact, originally I didn't have him on the card. But at the last moment - after everything else was glued down in fact, I just couldn't resist adding him. The beautiful "February" is from an antique ledger that I have in my stash. I just tore out one of the pages that had a Feb. date on it.
I have always had a love affair with paper. I love combining patterns from different collections and juxtaposing very modern and clean design with vintage. This card is a pretty good example of that. It was inexpensive to make, because the supplies are all paper. But by adding the stitching it does give it depth so that it is not 'flat'.
I hope you enjoyed my Valentine greeting.
Beautiful card.

I Love it! And I understand the need to figure out how to make it masculine. You did an awesome job!!!
I also want to say I too have a love affair with paper!! Paper is the #1 thing to create with. Like you said, you can make anything with just paper.
Wonderful work!!!
