Both are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie! Love the simple designs and the woodsy kraft colors on both...who knew hearts could be so pretty using those colors?!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Bunny said...

Gorgeous. I love how they look. What perfect paper you had to make these. [Bunny]

Brenda in IN said...

I love the paper and the trims you used. The paper is so delicate and that white trim makes that heart so feminine. The three have a nice rustic look to them.

Ros Crawford said...

They are just beautiful... I love them and I love the rustic feel you created!

LeAnne said...

SO pretty....that floral paper is gorgeous and perfect for our IB challenge! So happy that you played! I love both of them!

Heather said...

These two are adorable, Bonnie, there is something so fresh and pretty about little red flowers on white.

Liz said...

Two beautiful cards, Bonnie. xx

Bonnie said...

Now that is some pp. Love how the soft pink plays off of the neutrals.

Pat said...

These have a folk art feel to me Bonnie and love the texture with the white music and then the woodgrain, and the pretty brown/pink patterned hearts in a vertical line and then one larger one on the second which both work beautifully. I love the die cut sentiment on each too. x

Nstiz said...

Oh my gosh this color combination rocks! As always your design is beautiful, Bonnie. Kraft and red or pink is just gorgeous. Love these two cards.

The most perfect of all patterned papers, and I love the added 'linen-like' texture you've added to your kraft paper, Bonnie!!
I'm having a WDITOT moment -why didn't I think of that??
Thanks for joining us this week at IB!

I love them both Bonnie! I really like the embossed plank background on the second and the embossed music on the first which serves the same purpose! Vicky x

Brenda said...

Love the inspiration photo and those darling hearts which you have replicated in your two cards beautifully! Love the music embossing folder you used on your first card, and the embossed frame. Your hearts so are so sweet with the pearl on them. Such a beautiful card for sure. Your second card is my favorite, love the embossed background and that heart is soooo sweet with that ribbon and "love" script sentiment. Just really love this one and think it is stunning. Hugs, Brenda

What cute cards. Craft paper is rarely used for Valentine's Day cards, but your creations look great in this version. I especially like the heart on the second card.
