My first post. . . .

for the year 2014!  It has been a busy month for me and I have not been able to actually sit down to make cards and look for challenges to enter.  But, here is a Valentine I made for the current Seize the Sketch #11 challenge:

The hearts are Hero Arts die cuts.  I spritzed some red distress inks on my craft sheet and swiped the white hearts through the inks.  After they were dry, I outlined them with a Pilot gold metallic marker.  The patterned paper is also edged with the gold marker and is from Magenta.  The sentiment is from  Hero Arts.  A Martha Stewart border punch and some gold sequins were also added. 

Have a great weekend!
