Welcome to InKing Royalty's January Blog Hop! During this year's blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month's projects celebrate Valentine's Day, so prepare yourself for lots of hearts and beautiful showcases of love. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Valentine's Day isn't just for sweethearts. It's another opportunity to let friends know you are thinking about them! We have the best neighbors. They watch our house and check our mail when we're on vacation. We have fun lunch dates, and they bring treats to share all year. This card is for the sweet ladies next door.
The gorgeous die from Tasteful Backgrounds fit beautifully into the heart. I love how that die is cut from the Real Red heart I had, and Real Red cardstock is layered under the other pretty die cut also from Tasteful Backgrounds! The sentiment is from Very Versailles. I love that font!
