The theme this month is to make a Non-Traditional Valentine Card and Hero Arts is donating a
$25.00 Gift Card to the randomly picked winner.
 
Here is my project-
 

 Non-traditional Valentines means sometimes you think outside the box and ignore hearts, cupids, and flowers. I chose a peacock! Here are the items I used to make this card-
  1. Stamps & Dies: Layering Peacock (Hero Arts, retired).
  2. Dies: be mine banner (My Favorite Things, retired), Detailed Bohemian Plate (Simon Says Stamps).
  3. Paper: kraft, light blue cardstock. Patterned paper (Creative Memories).
 Make sure to enter for a chance at that wonderful prize!
 
 
 
And now for my bonus card!
 
 
and the inside-


Hero Arts makes so many wonderful stamps and dies-I have so many it makes it hard to chose what to work with! I love these butterflies, but unfortunately the set is retired. There are other sets that would also work.


Be sure to enter for a chance at that great Hero Arts gift certificate!
