The one with the tickets

I really like Tim Holtz' new Love Struck die, and especially the cupid with the bow and arrow. I've used it to make a few valentines type cards lately, but everytime my mil sees one she says
"it's lovely now, but I prefer the one with the tickets". This is the one with the tickets!

"The one with the tickets"

The background is inked with distress inks and overstamped with a script stamp, then matted & layered onto hammered gold cardstock and a large red card blank.

"Tickets"

The tickets and sentiment are from Hunkydory and are fixed in place with dimensional glue.

"Cupid"

The lace is coloured with distress ink and ruffled along the bottom of the card. I like to think of it as a lacy, flowery meadow for cupid to run about in :-). The cupid, arrow & heart were cut from white and hammered gold cardstocks. The white card was coloured with distress inks (darker ink was used for shadowing), then mounted onto the gold for extra depth.

"Side view showing dimension"

I'll show you a couple of the other cards I've made with this die next week and you can decide for yourself which you prefer.
