Hello, I hope you all are having a lovely day today! We will be having our Valentine's on Wednesday as DH works weekend nights and it takes him until Wednesday to come round! Id like to show a card I made for my DD1 to receive from her man, it took me about a week as I know she loves beautiful cards and I was so nervous incase it wouldn't be good enough. How daft are we? I'd always declined from making cards for my girls from their chaps as I wanted them to be given really special ones but after seeing the card that one of them got for a xmas one year, I realised that one of mine would have been far better!
I had seen many collaged hearts on blogland for a while now and they always made a statement. Id seen beaded, flowered, a mix of both and heart shapes used inside and they all looked so beautiful. The end result came slowly together and I used all of the red paper from my red scraps folder and blinged it slightly with some red stickles and tried a little doodle in black sakura on the plain black layer.
For the inside I wanted to keep it fairly plain so my (hopefully) future son in law could write of his undying love to my girl! The sentiment is from the wonderful Shaz - (formerly of funky fairies) and I think it was nicely appropriate.
I wanted an elegant envelope so made one using PM's Clare Curds Signature range and a lovely red sheer ribbon. I hope you like it.
I would like to enter this into this week's challenge over at

Happy Valentine's Day Keryn and WOW your DD will be spoiled rotten with the beautiful card you made, how could she not adore it, I know I do. Love the collaged hearts and the stunning envelope too. Hope you're well and have a romantic day on Wednesday ;)! Chris x
wow Keryn! a stunning Valentine, and I love the big bow and the text inside too. My Spica pen isn't scratchy, sounds like the ink isn't coming through on yours, maybe turn it upside down? I admit that the clear one is slower flowing than the other ones I have and if I go too fast it feels a bit scratchy.
