True Love

There are new digital stamps/images at A Day for Daisies!!!
My card uses the brand new image, Mr. Right from A Day for Daisies.  (Something to note: this image is half off right now)
My inspiration was vintage valentines and old movies.  I am a sucker for both!

I didn't have any matching vintage looking ribbon, so I took this fun ribbon and took my heat gun to it in a few places.  Ta-da!  Old ribbon!

You WON'T want to miss what my fellow design team members have done!
