Cross Stitch Love

I got the January Stamp of the Month from CTMH yesterday.  It's called Cross Stitch Wishes and while it's not my usual style, it's perfect for a Valentine's card.  Coincidentally, the challenge at ATCAS is Love and the color challenge at ColourQ is pink tones, so I decided to take the new set for a test drive.

This is a very, very simple card, but I quite like it.  I stamped the string in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the hearts with Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Primrose Petals markers before stamping onto the string.  The "Love" had a heart above and below it, but I cut those off the stamp and inked up the word in Crumb Cake.  

A Pink Pirouette heart punched from the Owl Punch and stuck it over the center heart.  Some pearls were placed on the card, either plain or colored with a copic marker.

I kept the inside simple to match the outside.

I think I'll give this card to my 11-year old son.  Even though it's a bit of a girly card, William is a very sweet and loving boy (when he's not being a drama queen!).  Last night I was feeling unwell with an upset stomach and went upstairs to lie down for a while.  William comes up with the thermometer, a glass of water and some cold medication (hey, it's medicine!).  Such a sweet boy.

Thanks for looking.
