Blue-Gray Valentine

Hey y'all, happy Sunday.  Ryan got to choose breakfast for this morning and of course he chose pumpkin coffee cake, it's his favorite : )

I have a bit of a nontraditional Valentine today.

I started with the AAA Cards Challenge colors:

I translated that to Evening Evergreen, Buckaroo Blue, Soft Succulent, and Bordering Blue, all of which are retired (and some for a very long time).  The card base looks totally gray in the picture but I promise it's a blue-gray.  So I had those colors in mind when I saw the CAS on Fridays challenge to make a Valentine and thought I'd try to combine them.  How'd I do?  I chose the ruffle-edged die because it makes me think of traditional Victorian Valentines; the banner behind it is actually two banners stacked on top of each other so that it's as tall as I wanted it.  The main image panel hides the join between the two.

Ta-ta for now, peeps.
