I Love CAS

Over at Addicted to CAS, the challenge this week is "love." What a perfect challenge! Valentine's Day is coming up and although I don't usually make my sweetie a card (I don't know why--I just don't), he's been away for almost 3 months and he's coming home the day after Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd better make a card for him. 

This card was pretty quick and easy to pull together and (shocker) there's NO stamping on it!! IKR?! I used  several Stampin' Up product to give the card some texture. I used my Simply Scored Board to score a double border around the black panel (which you can barely see in the upper right-hand corner).  I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to give the white panel a little texture. The I {heart} You sentiment is one of the elements in the Label Thinlit Card Die. I cut one in Silver Glimmer Paper and one in Red Glimmer Paper and adhered just the red heart with a dimensional. I thought the card still needed a bit of ribbon so I added some Real Red Taffeta ribbon with three bows. I hope it's still manly with those bows.
