HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2025 hold wonderful things in store for you all.
Valentine's Day is coming up in 6 weeks. How about making a card to mark the day? You must use either the word "Valentine" or "Love" as part of your sentiment. You don't need to use a heart on the card unless you want to. The twist is to use something with a lacy look on the card. It could be a die cut, doilie, stamp, stencil, embossing, patterned paper with a lacy look to it. Use your imagination. If you use actual lace (made of material) you will get an extra entry. I will use Random.org to select a winner of a $5 GC from me.
Here is an example. I used a lacy look in several elements of the card. I used actual lace below the sentiment, lacy look of the leaves and flowers die surrounding the sentiment, and I think the card base looks kind of lacy, too. All in all, I think I managed to keep this card masculine by adding the dark leaves behind the sentiment die.
GUIDELINES:
1. ONE card per Cherry permitted.
2. You may combine with ONE other monthly challenge that allows it.
3. Your entry must be a new card never before posted.
4. Your sentiment must include either the word "VALENTINE" or "LOVE".
5. Something on the card must have a LACY look.
6. The deadline for entries is Midnight, January 31.

Fun! I think I already have an idea…..

Hmmm masculine and lacy . . .

Sounds good!
Just FYI... I think this is in the wrong forum. Maybe one of the admins can move it?
I thought I was putting this into the January Challenges forum. When I clicked on the January challenges my post came up. What forum is it in?

Cherry Blossoms.
ETA: there's a link in the master list that brings you to this post. But the post itself is in the Cherry Blossom forum.
Love your card!!
I used paper lace with real white lace as a center border.
Also entered in the Taylor Swift Challenge.

I started making Valentines and used the new Doily lace edger from Sizzix/49 and the word love on the CB sentiment banner.
MY SWEET LOVE

The front of the card, using a lacy type of die from Marianne Designs. Below is the inside of the card.
Thanks for the challenge! It got me to use some lace and some twill ribbon I've had for years!
