This card uses a great digi image from Whimsy Stamps . I have coloured them using my Chameleon Pens. I have then mounted them onto a scrap of red sparkle card. As soon as I saw this image I knew the sentiment I wanted to put with it. I printed this out from word and again mounted it onto the red sparkle card.  I have so many stripes of this left over from the Christmas cards I made this year. The background card is a small piece of a 12x 12 sheet I had left over.  I trimmed it so it fitted top and bottom and the image covers the gap. This is my valentine card for my DH we don't do really soppy having been together now 31 years. Plus valentines day is our DD birthday so romance on that day tends to be forgotten in favor of Birthday celebrations!  This card is for the following challenges: Cardz for Men ~ Something beginning with T (Toads) Moving Along with the Times ~ Add a Sentiment Challenge Up your Life ~ Love is in the air Craft Rock...

This card uses a pre-coloured digi in available from Charmed Cards and Crafts . I have kept this card very simple as I think it makes its more masculine. The background paper is mounted on to plain white card stock and is a left over from a Kanban set. The red card is from my core-dinations pad.  I used a circle nestability to cut out the image and the a simple compass to draw a circle on silver mirra card and then cut with scissors.
