Love You More!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  You know that, right? Anyhoo ... I figured it was time to create a card.  I've been looking at various challenge sites to up my creative mojo.  I'm entering this in the following challenges:

• Aud Sentiments #267 Sending Love + a Sentiment
• The Paper Players #526 A Tic Tac Toe Challenge (mine is the die cut/embossing/blue version)
  
• TGIF Challenges #301 Designer Stesha Bloodhart Mad for Plaid Takeover

My grandson and I have this way of saying that we love each other. I say I love you. He responds I love you more. I respond I love you more and more. He responds I love you more and more and more. 

The Love You More Than die from Connie Stewart's Love You More Than set was a perfect match for our little communication.

After die cutting the sentiment, I used my Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends (dark and light) to color the words with an ombre effect.  I used my Triple Banner Punch to cut a notch out of a strip of Whisper White cardstock and adhered the sentiment on it. Next, I used my Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to the sentiment.

I had a strip of Seaside Spray cardstock that I embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I love the way the paper crinkles and really does look old! I added it to a piece of Plaid Tidings cardstock.

Last, I used my Take Your Pick tool to add some enamel dots (retired) to the card to finish it off.
