Stars & Stamps Sketch #99

My husband and I have never been big on celebrating Valentine's day, even when we were dating. I'm extremely blessed that he expresses his love for me many times a day and often surprises me with fun stuff for no reason.  Therefore, Valentine cards are hard for me to make. But I do like the idea of everyday "love" cards so I thought I'd make a simple, understated, card using this sketch.

I also wanted to try a ribbon tying technique from a tutorial by my friend and former shipper, Dixie.  It worked like a charm and was so simple!  If you didn't see the tutorial, check it out here!


Patterned Paper: Echo Park "For the Record"
Stamp: Hero Arts CL342
Punch: Martha Stewart
Inks: Archival Sepia and Distress Tea Dye
