Just add hearts!

Well I have been thinking about all things Valentine's with it being February and all and then the lovely girls at Just Add Ink have come up with a super challenge for the week called "Just add hearts!" What a great idea. This is my contribution:

I wanted to go for something a bit masculine so started on the basic black and I have done a bit of tearing and distressing edges and scrunching the little circle to give it that kind of worn in look... I never really considered the stamp set Always to be a Valentines day set but the sentiments are really sweet for the special man in your life. This one says 'always on my mind-forever in my heart.' There is another one that says 'You mean everything to me' - also a delightful sentiment for your valentine!
Recipe:
Stamp set: Always
Cardstock: Basic black, Kiwi kiss, Whisper white
Ink: Whisper white craft, Kiwi kiss
Accessories: Kiwi kiss satin ribbon and jumbo grommets (Summer mini catalogue)
You can always take the whisper white ink up a notch by heat embossing it to really make it stand out.
Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire

Wow - that heart looks amazing on Kiwi Kiss! A great idea for a more masculine card - I love how you've used the grommet. Thanks for playing!

Masculine is SO hard for me, but you've pulled it off brilliantly here!
