Vintage Romantic Valentine Card

Hello Friends!!  I have a Valentine Card that I designed using some of the January Ephemera, Digital Paper and Stamps from Gecko Galz as well as some Lovely Ribbons From Really Reasonable Ribbon!! that I would like to share with you today.

I started out with a blank ivory colored 5 by 7 inch card blank. I used GIMP to make the digital paper from Gecko Galz 4.75 x 6.75 inches, inked all my pieces with Ranger's Vintage Photo distress ink, layered them using some Candi fix foam pads from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The Red/ Burgundy and ivory crochet looking piece is one I altered myself.  I wanted it to have an "Old Victorian Post Card" feel to it. Below you will see the Collage that I created using images from the January Ephemera set and Digital stamp set.  I just LOVE how it turned out.  Of course I used GIMP to create this and add the text as well.

 Soooo yummy and romantic!!

Look at the yummy Rose Silk Ribbon I used from Really Reasonable Ribbon.   It is one of my new favorites!!  You can also see some bead spacers that I added to my die cut, as well as some pearl trim and a burgundy rosette.  Here is a close up of the romantic bow that I made with the Baby Pink seam binding from RRR, that I crinkled and distressed, and a vintage button below.

One final look at the front of the card.

Don't forget there is still time to play along in some challenges!!
