Antiqued Shabby Chic Valentine

I was looking back into the 'archives' to find Valentines I'd made in the past, and found this one!  I like the aged feel of 'days gone by' ~ a love that has stood the test of time.

I keep an old dictionary on hand specifically for projects like this one.  The lighter weight of the pages really lends itself well to distressing - crumpling, inking, etc.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
