Valentine's Card with Digi Stamp

I am having a lovely day today.
OH gave me a fab pressie this morning. I am the proud owner of a new mobile set up specially for those times when I can't get signal on my normal network - like when I am at my Mum's house. He apologised in advance that it wasn't romantic, but there is nothing better than a gift that is just what you want. Besides I hate that the cost of flowers in the few days before Valentine's is so ridiculous - £45 for a bunch of less than great red roses - no thanks :)

Well, this is my card for him. It's the first time I've used a digi stamp so it took a while before I found the right paper, size etc and the design went through about 20 changes before I had finished. One or two ideas I may have to run with :)

I coloured this in with Watercolour pencils this time, but think maybe pens will give a richer colour next time. I cut out the image with a kind of cloud shape and added to blue card with foam pads. The larger hearts came with a magazine aeons ago, and I added the white hearts to the middle. They have a silver doodled heart and white glitter on them but it is hard to see from the pic. Note to self... next time do some close ups, lol. The heart with Love in the middle is a Papermania one, as are the hearts in the sky and the gems. The lace trim was a freebie.

Hope you like it, and thanks for taking the time to look, bye for now and Happy Crafting.

    It's a great card Janice, love the image and design. Too right to have something you really need and is going to last, rather than pay extortionate prices for flowers that MIGHT last a week! lol x

    This is a great card Janice. I am a pencil fan, so I like to see images coloured with pencils, although I will use pens as well. Your OH sounds very thoughtful. Thanks so much for joining in with the Sincerely Yours challenge this week, Judith xx
