Why haven't I used this stamp before???

This black heart was part of the Romantica set by Elusive Images that I have had for ages - I was just flicking through my stamps when I noticed this one had never been inked up. So I just stamped it out to see what it looked like and was very impressed with the detail on it.

I scattered a few diamond gems in the centre of the flowers and added a round Craftwork Cards sentiment in the middle which seems to work quite well - in fact I might use this for my Brother-in-Laws forthcoming wedding now. Must go an have another rummage to see if there are more forgotten treasures in my stamp collection!

A Rose by any other name..

A card made using another of the Romantica stamps that I recently won - this time it's a Valentines card.

The edges of the roses have been distressed with red chalk ink and although the photo doesn't show it, some of the words and petals have been highlighted with stickles glitter glue!

I'm entering this into the Allsorts challenge and the Crafty Calender which both have Love themes !
