Smeared and Smudged Bloody Valentine Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the Smeared and Smudged Bloody Valentine Blog Hop ..... and the theme is Bloody Valentine......... the bloodier the better.  If you have arrived from the very talented Jamie's blog...... then you are on the right track........to start from the beginning hop on over to Tori's.  If you get lost you will find the blog roll on my sidebar :)

Here is my take on the theme :)

This is a Victoria Frances image..... but as some of you may already know, my printer is broken at the moment...... so after lots of swearing at it my Husband gave it a thump and said "Try that!" and this is what came out........ I quite liked the effect so I decided to use it :) The sentiment "I Love You" is a rubber stamp and the lace, flowers, ribbon, doily (Poppys Cabin) and tassel are from my stash :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge(s)
