This one is for my husband

Now that valentine's is over for another year, I thought I'd share the card I made for my husband.

"You've caught my heart"

The background and front panel have the usual Tim Holtz' distress inks, stamps and Perfect Pearls.

"Charms and lace"

My good friend Lee (craftyloops) has been encouraging me to experiment with jewellery, and here I've been playing with some beads attached to jump rings via head pins, together with a couple of charms and a tiny die-cut heart inked to match the background. The gorgeous lace is some more of the stash from Kathy. Thank you both!

"Birdcage"

The birdcage and Elegant post diecuts were cut from dark card and dabbed with alcohol ink to give an aged metallic effect. Another diecut heart was inked & stamped before layering over a pair of stamped wings.

"Elegant post"

The birdcage was hung from the post with a chain of jumprings.
