So perhaps this is NOT the best time to be sharing 'lovey dovey' cards as I feel like growling instead of being romantic and sentimental - but it is OH's birthday on valentine's Day and this was originally made with him in mind but have decided to share it now - !
This is a take on a Christmas card really.. differences being that I have used plain white textured card instead of glitter card for the tree and where the little red bauble was hanging I have replaced it with a red heart.
Oh and instead of torn paper at the bottom to resemble snow I have used a scrap of Kraft -
In fact I have no idea why I have told you all this cos when you read that they're nothing like each other!! LOL General idea was the same anyway!
Just used up a few leftovers from other projects and a sentiment stamped in Versafine Sepia ink -am quite happy with it!

Sadly the weather here is reflecting my misery! It's wet (again) and we have had some hailstones/sleet in the last few minutes - a day to stay (feeling sorry for myself) in the craft room I think!! x

Hi Viv oh gosh I can sympathise with you I had a nasty virus must of Dec/Jan but I passed onto my DH! Hope you feel better soon. Fabulous card love the simplicity of it and such a good design. It has been another lovely day here today after a bit of a shaky start. Susan xx
When I saw this I was thinking I wouldn't mind getting this one. When you said it was for your hubby my reaction was YAY! Men, for the most part anyway, don't like to show their feelings. SECRET: He will love it.
Here are a few suggestions to make you feel better. Watch reruns of your fav teams winning games. Put up a dart board with the picture of someone you can't stand and use it frequently. Keep a 5 kilo pot of hot chocolate and 5 kilo's of chocolates near at hand to eat as the urge arises. Smile

Hi Viv, Hope you are feeling better soon, that's the problem when your OH shares everything with you. Such a lovely card to start off our romantic week, I love the ~CAS effect, most striking. Thanks for playing along with us at Cardz 4 Guyz. Caz

Great card Viv! Perfect for the germ spreader :) I've made single heart dangling from tree cards and they really do look so effective.
Get well soon chick - it's busy in the Playground building this 'ere Ark and maybe you could stand and stir the big barrel of pitch tar - that'd sort your chest out toot sweet :)
Hugs, from afar 'cos I don't want the lurgy - Di xx
