I am not really into a lot of the Valentine's Day hype as some people are, but I do think it is a great opportunity to take pause and be grateful for the ones we love and to do something a little special for them. Thinking about making a card for a wonderful man who has been in my life for 32 years, 26 of them as my hubby, I came across two challenges Just Add Ink romance challenge, and Just Us Girls
"Love" challenge ... perfect for what I had in mind.
I recently caved in and bought myself the Large Letters Framelits and was itching to try and eclipse card with them. I knew I wanted to incorporate the cute little hedgehogs from a previous hostess set as my hubby absolutely loves hedgehogs. I have to say this card turned out, if anything, better than I had expected! I knew I wanted the little hedgehogs to be peeking out from behind the letters, initially thinking I would use the SAB Party Pandas, but swapping it over to the hedgehogs. I may still do one with pandas!
I coloured the hedgehogs with Stampin' Blends and added a little heart to each pair using the Owl Builder Punch. So this card is a mix of shiny new toys and old favourites!
Now just have to keep it secret until Valentine's Day, but I think that is pretty safe as he never visits my blog :).
Happy Stamping
Monique
