But...alas, one cannot dwell on such things...SO...let's have some fun with a Valentine's Day card with precisely ZERO pink, red, purple, or any of those colors one might consider to be tradition. Actually...how about brown. with just a touch of buttercup. Does that sound Valentine'sey to you? No? Well.....I think you may be convinced....

I TOLD you SO!!!! Tee-hee! That GORGEOUS background paper is from October Afternoon and came straight out of my Scrapbook Circle Remember This kit! Those fabulous hearts? TOTALLY Retro Cafe Art! I LOVE THEM!!!! You can get them with holes or without. You totally need to check them out! I used two without and then tied a little twine bow on one with a hole. I love it The twine is from The Twinery and I created the nice, evenly spaced holes using the Sew Easy tool. That gorgeous lace? May Arts, of course!

I kind of love making non-traditional type cards. I think this one may go to The Hubbums. I kind of love it! I am also entering this one into the CARDS Valentine card challenge. I hope you have a super happy Monday! See you again tomorrow!
