Wowzer! It is freezing here in NH. I had to go out yesterday and today. Both days have been the coldest days we have had so far since we said goodbye to the summer. The wind-chill made the temps go below zero. As I write this it is - 10 degrees and falling. At least I did not have to go out in the snow storms that we had this past week. :) One storm brought us 13 inches of snow and the one that followed it 2 days later left us with an additional 7 inches. Well I am sure that you did not come to read about our freezing temperatures or our snow amounts. So here is the card that I made tonight. It might seem a bit too early to be making Valentines day cards but January is going to fly right by us and before you know it............Bang another day to celebrate. :) Oh I'm sure the men *love* this day. Ha-ha.
Stamps: Victorian Floral Backgrounder and Scripty Writing from Kim Hughes both from Cornish Heritage Farms.
Card-Stock: Black and White.
Inks: Versafine Red Crimson and Raisin from Adirondack by Ranger.
Embellishments: Cranberry satin Ribbon.
I now have a favorite color ink. I *love* the Adirondack Raisin and will use it every chance I get. It is such a beautiful cranberry red.
I hope that all of you have had a good week. Just think the weekend is right around the corner. See another week just went right by us all ready. Smile. :)
what a beautiful card Mary. Miss you!

Very pretty card! And Victorian it is. I have the raisin alcohol ink and love the color, but I don't have any adirondack stamp pads. Hmm is this something I need to buy? LOL
