Smeared and Smudged Valentine's Blog Hop

Welcome to the Smeared & Smudged Valentine's Day blog hop. The rules for our valentine/love theme hop are simple.... no red, no pink, no hearts, no cute!


For my card I'm using this lovely couple from the As Death set from Smeared Ink. I colored them in with pencils and mounted on a black square. For the card base I stared with an off white cardstock and layered a blueish/grey rose patterned vellum. Added the black and pale blue ribbon to tie into the colors used on the image. My thinking was the roses brought some more romance to the card. Decided not to clutter up the front with the sentiment but to write Dance with me, Valentine on the inside.

Don't forget to continue on with the hop and leave all the bloggers some love.

~Happy Valentine's Day~
