Happy Heart Day

I've never been one to decorate for the holidays, except Christmas.

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of holidays, Valentine's is one of my fave's

Come on who could not love a day all about love and chocolate 

So, I've been playing around with banners. 

I made one for Christmas I'll show you another day

But today I want to show you the banner I made last night, spur of the moment in honor of heart day...

the background shape looks black in the pic but it is a really pretty dark grey

I found this card in my scrap stuff and thought a vintage look was awesome!

I used glimmer mist red on the hearts and letters, but it just wasn't enough sparkle

so I used loose glitter 

How do you attach loose glitter you may wonder...

My first go to for this project would be to use spray adhesive all over the letters

then transfer to a fresh piece of paper and sprinkle glitter on top. moving quickly

because the glue dries fast.  But...

I am out of spray adhesive -argh!!!

and it was one in the morning. and I am so not running to wally world 

in a snow storm for glue (this time) 

 So, I busted out the best glue EVER

Scrappy Glue

Spreading glue and sprinkling glitter one letter at a time

 Then I found this old vintage postcard of Paris

and had to use it!!!

I thought about using more embellishments, but sometimes less is more....

hope you like it 

and have a wonderful Day of LOVE!

Lots of Love,
