LIM: Monochrome Card 3

Morning all! And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY GORGEOUS, CRAFT-TOLERANT HUBBY!  It’s our 9th Anniversary and according to google that makes it leather or pottery!  Hmmmm…not sure how to put either of those on a card so I think I’ll stick with the good old-fashioned heart approach:

I {Heart} Hearts (2)
I’ve made this card using the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.  It’s beautiful and absolutely ideal for cards from the heart Smile.

The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart set.  I’ve stamped the hearts using Real Red, Riding Hood Red and Cherry Cobbler and sat the hearts on ribbon.

Chrissie and Mandi over on Less is More  are really helping to stretch our  imaginations this week with their Monochrome challenge.  This is my third entry!!  Why not check it out!   The cards this week are absolutely fab!

But, alas this card is a little girly, don’t you think?  I couldn’t give this to my bloke!  Not even a craft-tolerant one like my hubby!  So I actually made him one last night - inspiration taken from the latest Idea Book and Catalogue. Yes, it has pink in it and it’s covered in hearts….but it also has blue, green and brown .... and I love him, so hearts say it all :-).  I'm going to enter his card in the Texture Challenge over on One Stop Craft Challenge.
Anniversary Card
Thanks for looking.

    Love both of them Linda, so similar in idea but look so very different. Think the second one is my favourite

    Two fabulous cards but I do prefer the first one. The layout and balance are just right. I love how you used differing levels with the hearts.
