Valentine for Husband

Hi, Happy Saturday!

I made this card for three challenges: Penny Black Week 35 - Romance; Basic Gray Challenge 21 - Mix It Up; and Sketch Saturday 37.

I used three different papers from Basic Gray: Wassill, Figgy Pudding and Impulse. The letters are from Figgy Pudding and the brad, upper right corner, is from Bittersweet.

The image is Penny Black. It was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I stamped the image twice and cut out the second image and popped it out on foam squares. I used my Nestabilities round and scallop for the image and base. The base is really hard to see, but it's there :-). I put a ribbon behind the image and tied knots in each end. I put "love you" on the sides. My dh and I have been married for 41 years! So I guess I should put love you, don't you agree? :-)

Thanks for lookin' and have a great weekend! Be safe.

    A beautiful card Linda and my goodness 41 years married that's amazing! I think you should definitely have 'love you' on your Hubby's card LOL, I'm sure he'll love it. Love the mix of papers you used and your image is so cute and beautifully coloured. Have a great weekend. Chris :)
