Love is in the Air

I typed that title, and the song started playing in my head. Guess I'll be stuck with it for hours now :-) "Love is in the air, Every time I look around, Love is in the Air,...". It's the first of February today, so it's time for a Valentine's card:


"Love is in the air"

If you're wondering why there are two hearts, Tom doesn't like the one with the sword in, hence I've made it removable so I can still give him the card! The background is all done with distress inks, Tim Holtz stamps, gold perfect pearls and then overstamped with black archival ink. The tag is from Tim Holtz' Seasonal paper stash, with the "love" stamp heat embossed in cosmic shimmer gold, and the tag matted onto some gold card before fixing to the background.

"angled view"

The diecuts are Spellbinders "Fallen Angel". The hearts are cut from gold card and patterned papers. The sword & wings from gold card only.

P.S. If you're wondering how little chicky is getting on, he's four days old now and getting chirpier by the day. Tom has added some more photos to his blog.

Divas by Design - Anything Goes
