All you need is love...

I almost missed the deadline for this month's challenge at Penny Black at Allsorts.  When I first saw the theme of 'All you need is love' I really wanted to scrapbook my photos of a visit to Liverpool, but alas I just haven't had time to do that project justice.  However, I really didn't want to not enter the challenge especially seeing as I was one of the lucky winners in the blog hop they had over there.  I won two fab Penny Black stamps - how lucky am I?  I've used one of the stamps on my 'with love' card .  It's a fab little image featuring funky hearts and I'm sure that it will get used a lot for creating backgrounds too.
Apologies for the poor photo.  I did take one in daylight but then decided that the card needed black peel off dots to accentuate the scalloped edge and had to take another photo using my daylight lamp.

Additional materials...
  • swirly heart designer paper by Kanban (I think)
  • black and red card
  • dots embossing folder by Crafts Too
  • image was stamped using Versamark and then embossed with Ultrafine black embossing powder.  Coloured using Promarker Crimson and Sakura stardust red.  Diamond Glaze on top.
  • black organza ribbon and 'with love' sticker from stash
Additional Challenges...
Thanks for stopping by.  
Love and hugs
