Valentine in the Round

I decided to shake things up a bit for this one and make it round rather than rectangle. I cut up several strips of patterned paper and adhered them to the front of my circle card. I went around again and trimmed the strips down so that they were flush with the base. After stamping on the card and inking the edges, I attached my hearts with pop-dots. Two holes punched in the side where the card folds made the perfect spot to tie my ribbon through.

Stamps: Studio G $1 stamps
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink in 'Chestnut Roan'
Paper: Basic Grey 'Blush'
Ribbon: Joann's Craft Essentials
Other: pop-dots, hearts cut out using Cricut 'George'
