I have done a couple of projects for Valentine's, mainly because Stampin' Up have released an amazing set of Designer Series Papers, which I adore called Painted with Love. I have used them for Valentine's, but also for other events in the year.
The problem with a Designer Series Paper that you love is having to cut it up and use it in away that shows it off, this card does that. This card is all about the DSP and very little about the stamping! What really sets it off is the coordinating cardstock pack that enables you to do a little matting and layering with ease.
I have also used this paper as the background to a family picture taken at Christmas. I didn't want a wintery themed scrapbook page as the emphasis was on all the grandchildren being with Granny rather than the time of year. I also used some Brusho to create interest in the background (which is why the card is buckled - I am hoping that being in the Big Black Folder it will flatten over time).
Again, the gold just adds that bit of opulence to the layout.
Lastly, I added it to a page about an Afternoon Tea my husband and I recieved as a joint birthday present. A romantic afternoon, but it was more because the colours in the cardstock pack and DSP set the photos off well.
Later in the week on Facebook, I will be highlighting some more male oriented valentine's cards.
