Valentine Grunge Blog Hop and Challenge!

Greetings to all of my crafty friends!!!  I have something fun for you today!

We are kicking off a Valentine's Grunge Blog Hop and a challenge over at A. Jillian Vance Designs.  Have you heard of them yet?  They make some fabulous stamps and some of them coordinate exactly with the Epiphany Crafts tools. 

If you are arriving here from Elisa's blog, you are in the right spot!!! 

If you don't know what I am talking about...  start at Jillian's blog and check out all of the details.

Now for the fun!   The challenge is to create a Valentine card in a grungey style! 
This challenge is open from January 16 - 21.

--------------------

For this challenge, I used Jillian's "Sending My Love" set of stamps.  How completely adorable are these?!!!:

The Echo Park papers "Yours Truly" were the perfect choice for this fun project!  I've also used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tools in Heart 25 tool and Oval 25.  The Heart 25 and Oval 25 Bubble Caps as well.

Adding a little ink and tears gave the right amount of grungey masculine appeal to the card.  One fun find...  the Epiphany Crafts Heart 25 tool is a perfect fit for the heart pattern paper.  The oval tool was a perfect fit for one of the sentiment blocks too!  I used the key stamp in the center for a fun vintage flavor. 

The XO heart was created with the heart stamp with Red StazOn ink and the XO from the Sending My Love stamp set.  That's my project for today, thank you so much for stopping by! 

The next and final stop on the hop for you is:
