Today's card is an extra special 5x7 for my wonderful husband. I am so pleased about how this turned out that I am keeping it a secret from him til Valentine's day!

The chipboard x's are the negatives from SU Timeless type chipboard and the o's are some chipboard from Hobby Lobby that I have had forever. I originally sponged the Wheat ink onto the x's, but decided chocolate would look better. That is why the chocolate color seems to be muted.
The beautiful DSP is from SU's Bella Rose collection and contains Pink Pirouette. The bottom edge was punched with a scallop edge and then pierced with a hole punch in each scallop. I added some Pretty in Pink CS strips that I had stamped in Wheat with the background image. I ran the wider strip through the crimper to add some texture. It kinda looks like some ribbon SU used to have...

I plan on writing a really sweet poem on the inside and maybe even putting a picture of us in there too. I think this is one of the most elegant and beautiful cards I have ever created on my own and I think the 5x7 size makes it that much more so.
Thanks for stopping by...I hope this inspires you to do something lovely for your Valentine too!
Hugs,
