Good afternoon to all my lovely friends and followers. Hope you have had a good week so far. I've just come in, been out this morning to my craft club and made a man card then to Thai Chi this afternoon . So feeling very calm and relaxed just right for blogging and catching up on my comments.
The card I'm posting today is a card I've made with a love theme so many of the challenges had this theme as its so close to Valentine's Day. I don't normally do many Romance cards but thought I'd give it a go. The only time I usually do this type of thing is when I have commissions or wedding anniversaries. I hope you like it I decided to do a step card for a change then when I got into it wished I hadn't as it didn't seem to be working at first. I'm reasonable pleased now with the finished card

I don't do many romance cards either so all of these love challenges have definitely taken me out of my comfort zone! Your card is gorgeous - the step card works so well. I love how you layered the scalloped circles, I've never seen that done before and it looks so effective. Stunning colouring too!
