I added a glitter filled heart using the verve set Chevron Love, I cut it with the Jotted Heart Die by Verve. I used distressing(one of my favorite ways to embellish) and washi tape strips. I stamped the sweet arrow on a ticket, it is also from the Verve Chevron Love set and clipped it with a tiny clothespin. What a fun dare this month, I cannot wait to see what you create! Hope you have a super day...enjoy!
