Be My Valentine!

Hello and welcome! I hope you're having a great day. I can't believe we're already in February! Time truly does fly when you're having fun. 

Today is the beginning of our newest two week challenge at The Frilly and Funkie Blog!  The lovely Zoe is our hostess with the following guidelines: Love is in the air, and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, this challenge is to make a card for your sweet Valentine in a vintage or shabby chic style. 

At the end of the challenge the team will choose their top four picks. Our first place winner will be invited to join us in a Guest DT spot at The Frilly and Funkie Blog . Three additional talented participants will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and adheres to the challenge guidelines will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique! For entry specifics and inspiration from my fabulous teammates just click on the blog link above. 

My son was born on Valentine's Day, so of course it is my favorite day of the year! For this challenge I'm sharing a card featuring shabby, distressed layers, dimensional stitched hearts, and handmade roses.   

I have a tutorial for these roses here. The flowers are anchored with a twine bow and bits of frayed cheesecloth. The tiny clock is fussy cut from the paper collection. 

Thank you so much for visiting with me! I'm super excited about our new challenge, and I hope you'll play along with us. May your day be filled with sunshine and joyful moments! 

Hugs,
