LOTV Valentine

Hi,  it's been a while since I posted any cards, so here goes, I've got 3 to post tonight... hee hee...
The first one is my hubby's valentine, my first attempt with a LOTV stamp, I don't do colouring in very often as I;m not very good, but have purchased some promarkers, and must say they blend beautifully using Lavinia card stock, a tip from my mentor Eileen...  I stamped onto lavinia card coloured in using pro markers and die cut using nesties labels 8 3rd from smallest die.  I layered at an angle onto a piece of card coloured in using a combination of adirondack red pepper and distress inks black soot, I typed the little message and cut this out using the last but smallest labels seventeen nesties die.  Using cut and dry foam I edged both with distress ink tattered rose.  These were layered onto some music paper and some speciality bark affect paper in my stash (can't remember where it came from),   top and bottom corners cut with Martha Stewart large fan punch, HOTP striped paper and mounted onto a dark coloured card A5 size.  I used a thick red vellum for the insert.  Not too bad a job as I haven't coloured for a long time, must try it more often...
