#2 Valentine/LOVE Card - Hero Arts Floral Love

Click here for What's Happening Thurs 2/18.

Had mailed some Valentines to internet friends and they never arrived at their destination so I made new ones. Put these inside padded envelopes (when you use a padded envelope the mail is treated like a package and yes you pay more but you get a tracking number). Here's hoping these arrive.

Used Hero Arts Floral Love stamp/die for LOVE.

I have a way to use washi tape that works for me. I put the washi tape on an index card and then cut length I need and use adhesive to attach like at bottom of this card.

The washi tape is different than previous posted card.
