Rose Valentine

I just want to get this posted real quick so I can get it in for Mercy's challenge and will be back to update the information later.  Well, I was too late for that challenge, the next post is already up, but I linked my card over there anyways.  This was a real quick card to make ~ and no coloring {gasp}.  It literally took no more than 10 minutes, and that is only because I stamped the heart stamp with a few different inks and on a few different colored papers to see which way I liked it best.

I used my retired SU Bella Rose paper because I realized it was a perfect match for this heart stamp I picked up at Michael's for $1.00.  I was hoping my SU heart punch would fit this stamp and it worked wonderfully!  The trim I found in my stash of vintage trims and laces I had picked up at an auction some time ago ~ it is a pale pink and white.
