For the background I stencilled Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the two corners of the card then dusted over the top and stamped with the same ink. The large heart was stamped using Satin Red Versafine and embossed with clear embossing powder. The image of the couple was re-shaped from a square to a heart and attached to the large heart. I stamped the love stamp with Coffee Archival but the heart didn't show up too well so I stamped it again on a piece of card to match the colour of the large one, cut it out and glued it to the postcard. I finished my postcard with a computer generated dictionary definition.

Love the neutral colouring with a punch of red!
Great minds Maggie I tried to use that heart stamp on my piece but it didn't have good definition. Do like that stamp! Love your postcard, the red is really well set off against the cafe au lait type background. Love the word you chose,
It has the look of a Vintage Valentine with just the right pop of red! The heart shaped image nestling in the stamped heart is a great idea, lovely page!
A beautiful postcard - very romantic.

I'm REALLY late and know it, but I simply had to visit, even though the next CB challenge has already been posted. I actually like the word fidelity better, because it seems to have more meaning to me. The beauty of the piece comes in the colors you used. The red really pops out from the creamy background. This is a real beauty.
Lovely vintage style postcard and a great choice of word.
I love the vintage style and using the red for both hearts really ties it all together x
I love everything about it, the vintage style, the background which looks like store bought vintage paper, the picture of the couple and the accent color red.great.
A beautiful vintage page, perfect for The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge, thank you for joining in!
