... to receive a special {Valentine} at this time of year is intoxicating. There are so many little delights to be had in these love notes ...
... so each year I make my {Valentine's} ... something that speaks of the past, a time when these notes were made with distinct care for their intended recipient ...... this year I wanted to create a {Valentine} that was representative of a vintage {memory book} ...
... a miniature collection of mementos - vintage tinsel, cupcake paper flowers, stitching ...
... vintage book paper, ruffled and painted with a glittery coating and a petite silky flower ...
... itty-bitty letter beads and layers of pretty papers ...
... and lots and lots of sparkle ...
... a recycled fair ticket is cut into a stacked heart ... velvet and glittered ribbons are added as
whimsical tabs ... a heart fashioned from vintage fabric is stitched to the card ...
... so many layers ... LOVE LOVE LOVE ...
... the pretty blue floral paper is another cupcake liner . The puffy fabric heart has been stitched across. My Sophie said it looks like {lips} ! ...
... the {Valentine} itself is an over sized tag shape with pretty pink & red stitching around the edges ...
... the top of this giant {tag} is embellished with either a shabby linen tie or a loop of hand dyed vintage seam binding, and a glittered clothespin ...
... a hodge podge of {Valentine} mementos ...
... that will be a {sweet treat} for someone I {LOVE}.
...made with {L O V E} for all of my very special Valentine's!
... enjoy!
... enjoy!
