You + Me= ♥

     Well get a load of these two!  He stole that kiss before he ever gave her the flowers!  LOL
     Our theme this week at The Kraft Journal is "So Romantic".  The big V-day is fast approaching so I'm sure you'll all have something you can join in the challenge with.  Just make sure it has kraft paper of a Kraft Outlet product on it and your in like Flynn!
     For my card I started with a base of Light Kraft Cover Weight cardstock.  I matted with some Bazzill and some digital papers that were a gift from my buddy Jan.  The image was colored with Copics and I tried my hand at the "outside the die cut" technique.  It turned out pretty good.  I don't think you can even tell where I had to cut in.
     Anyway, the fish tail banner and sentiment are more of the light Kraft.  I put some eyelets in the end of the sentiment and tied it to the smaller mat with some Red Baker's Twine.
     For the inside of the card I added two mats and then trimmed a Small Glassine Bag with some postage stamp decorative edge scissors to make a tag pocket.  I then wrapped some more red twine around the bag.

INSIDE OF CARD

     The tag was cut from Light Kraft after I printed the cute little heart digi on it.  It's colored with Copics too and highlighted with a white gel pen.  The finishing touch was a small piece of red 7 Gypsies Gypsy Market seam binding tied through the tag top.

     Hope you'll come join in our fun this week.  It's the perfect excuse to make a Valentine card for somebody you love.
