No ❤❤❤❤'s

Hello and welcome back!  Today I'm sharing a DT project for Frilly and Funkie.  Our hostess Cec has a positively wicked challenge - she wants us to make a Valentine project in traditional Valentine's colors of red, pink and white but NO HEARTS! What, no hearts? The design team rose to the challenge, despite our strong urges to add hearts.  I fought through the challenge and here is my heartless Valentine.    I started with a piece of white CS and using the new Tim Holtz Latticework stencil, I stenciled the CS with Vermillion archival ink.  Wow, what a pretty stencil, huh?  Because I was using red and white, I cut a white top for my normal jumbo manila tag and overlaid the tag with it.  Of course, I had to lightly sponge all edges with Vintage Photo DI.  

Then I went to town with handmade paper flowers and a vintage image to bring in the required pink.  In the mess on my desk I had the "from the heart" tag left over from a prior project and found a home for it here.  I cut some ribbon flags with a decorative strip die and stamped with the Tim Holtz Worn Text stamps to spell out LOVE.  I topped the doily off with a rhinestone ribbon slide and a little bow of red and white paper twist.  

And that's it for my heartless Valentine.  How about taking the challenge this fortnight over at Frilly and Funkie?  Just link up your vintage style project - we'd love to have you play along.  And be sure to stop by and see the other yummy projects - Frilly this week and Funkie next week.
