Another MIM # 146 Angled Background

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
 
I couldn't resist one more angled background card!
I used some papers from  the Simple Valentine pack from PTI.
Sorry the card is leaning...kind of like the Tower of Pisa!!
 
and watch the video that Ashley put together for this challenge.
 
Heart Hugs friends!

I love both of your angled cards. The birthday one is so festive and fun, and I love how you used a candle. And, brilliant idea to use those heart border dies on your Valentines card, and your giant heart is so sweet.

Love that paper all together and the heart border is so unique. I think the angles are cute. It gives a uplift to the regular cards we make. It's nice to go for a different look and this one is great.
