My very first post.


Hi and welcome to my blog and my very first post. It's quite exciting to be a blogger. The first card I am going to show, is the card that I made for my husband Charlie for Valentines day last Sunday. The heart and flourish stamp I got free with a magazine last spring and I had never used it. As it was for a man's card I thought the black and white, would be nice for his Valentine instead of the usual red. I used white embossing powder on black card and vice versa. The embossed white swirls are a cuttlebug folder. I have now entered this card in Crafty Ann's challenge . If music were the food of love.
Thankyou for looking.
