It's Thursday...and that means it's time to play at Pals Paper Arts! At this time of year, what better challenge is there than "Valentines"! May our "Lady in Red" inspire you to create the Valentines of your dreams. And if you do not want to make your Valentines in the traditional red hues...be a rebel like me! I selected the "Valentine Girl" from Greeting Card Kids and paired her with Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper...a match made in "Nostalgia Heaven"!
- Paper piece! Our little sweetie's dress has been paper pieced from a snippet of Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper. I simply inked the stamp in Jet Black StazOn, and strategically placed the stamp in a rosebud free area. A few snips with the Paper Snips and we have a dress fit for a queen!
- Wreath of hearts! To achieve the texture on the Rose Red and Pretty in Pink hearts, I used the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit. After embossing the Scalloped Hearts, I simply used the Small Heart Punch to punch out the hearts I used to make the wreath. Basic Pearls are used as accents.
- Bow-licious! A Very Vanilla satin bow is topped with a rosette made from Victoria Crochet Trim. An Antique Brad and Trinket Key are the perfect touches!
- Be My Valentine! The banner from the Be My Valentine stamp was snipped out and used as the sentiment.
Lace, pearls, designer paper and banner, paired with a nostalgic image, work to produce a Valentine reminiscent of the 1930's and '40's. Who could resist a sweet card such as this!
Before you head off to check out what the rest of the Design Team has created, I do want to announce the winner of the Basic Rhinestones. Congrats to:

Beautiful card Ann! I love the crochet, antique brad, and trinket key accent!
This card is so very cute. I think I have to move to Canada or the States in order to get this wonderful Stamp and Designer Paper!
By the way, how is your dog doing? Did you have to make concrete shoes so the little darling can´t jump?
The detail in this card is amazing! I love all the layering and the sweet heart wreath around the focal. The papers are darling, too. Another winner!

Beautiful card Ann. I have the key trinkets and will have to get busy using them. I just love these little ones. They are super cute.
I {heart} your heart wreath!!! Actually, I {heart} everything about your stunning card. The paper-pieced dress is a great idea, the banner looks perfect, and the lace trim w/embellishments just gives it the final touch.
So sweet. Love the banner sentiment and the ribbon feature and accents. Very classy, as usual.
Wowsa! Your card is beautiful and all of your details are absolutely amazing!

I love the circles of hearts with the pearls. Very lovely card.
Ann, this is beyond gorgeous! That heart wreath is an amazing accent, although I have to tell you that I knew it would be awesome from the sneek peek picture. That bow with the crochet trim rosette is just divine, too.
Ps: How is Muffy? Thinking about her! :)
It is such a sweet card Ann with all the perfect touches.
Wow! Love how you made the wreath; embossed and with embellishments. Thank you for sharing!

Love this card from the vintage wallpaper to the little hearts with pearls. The ribbon and bow with the key sets it off perfectly.
How's Muffy doing? Hopefully she's getting the rest she needs.
Oh how cute is she! Such a cute vintage card. Love it.
This the most darling card. Will have to use some of your ideas for my granddaughter's card.

So cute! Love the wreath of hearts! And the rosette is awesome! That's my favorite ribbon.
Absolutely gorgeous. All the little added details make this card "absolutely gorgeous" again.
I love reading everyone's comments! This card is so special! It IS all in the details! I do think her little dress is my favorite though, I never think to try paper piecing. Just so cute! I think I need that DP! Thanks for sharing Ann, it is really cute and so different than all the other valentines.
Hope Muffy continues to improve and not jumping around in all this snow!

This is super cute Ann! I love the heart wreath you made...very innovative! I need to purchase that little punch....I thought I wouldn't need it because I have the heart trio punch...but now that I have a few stamp sets that coordinates it's becoming a "must-have"! {SMILES}
