This is my entry for the Letter Y Alphabet Challenge this week. The Y in my card is for Yesteryear which means "last year." And last year, I used this same cupid die on this Valentine card: Vintage Valentine by Art Deco Diva at Splitcoaststampers. This card is my attempt at doing Vintage which is something I adore, but struggle to do. I keep trying and hopefully one day I will get there. Thanks for looking! ~Karen.

Your cupid does make this vintage, as well as the colors, Karen. Beautiful! I love all the details, and the glitter hearts. So much to look at ; each time I look there is another detail! Fabulous card!

This is one gorgeous card for Y, Karen. I love that die, which I now own, thanks for the enabling, lol. I also love how you used that dp. on this. And the gold shimmer paper is very vintage looking. Love the way the love diecut is entwined around the cupid's feet!

This is so pretty, Karen! From the cupid, to the fabulous font of the love sentiment, to the lacey heart die cut is wonderful. Beautiful sparkle, fabulous Valentine card. Marvelous job!

Love all your die-cut elements to create this vintage-style card, especially Mr. cupid! Love your wood plank-looking background with the little vintage flowers and sparkly die-cut hearts!

I love this! I love the DP you chose and how it is peeking through the dies. Your combo of dies is just wonderful especially with the glitter and metallic papers.

Lots of pretty glitter and shimmer going on, Karen, and boy do I love it! Love the way your sentiment tails are wrapped around the cupid's feet; you are just so clever! Great choice of dp....in keeping it clean, your main points take the stage with no distractions! I remember yesteryear's card because I have it in my possession! Brilliant creation~
