Herringbone Valentine

I made this card using the Herringbone technique (you can find it on the Splitcoaststampers site under resources) for a CAS challenge a couple weeks ago; it really isn’t done correctly, so I want to try it again, but I gave it to my daughter yesterday anyway:

I used various DPs in Cherry Cobbler, Poppy Parade, Real Red and Rose Red to do the heart.  The scallops are from the new Adorning Accents Edgelits die, and the heart was cut with the Hearts Collection Framelits die.  The remaining piece was perfect to make into a little picture frame:

I cut a Basic Black background using the Scallop Square die, mounting it on some heavy chipboard and making a little easel prop to hold it up.  A couple of hearts (Large Heart Punch and Timeless Type Die) and the P.S. I Love You and Teeny Tiny Wishes made a sweet little embellishment:

I hope you had a sweet Valentine’s!!!  I didn’t have the baby, but here’s a cute little picture from last Valentine’s; wow, she has changed, hasn’t she?:

Thanks for popping by today!
