My husband and I have been married for 40 years now, and I wanted a nice bright and sunny card. The two stamps that I've used can be found here and here. The actual card is made using a new Martha Steward punch that I received for Christmas, and I've softened the edges with a little DI. I've used copics and perfect pearls on the image, adding a ribbon bow and matching pearls to the 4 corners. Couldn't resist adding a couple of butterflies.....for a breath of spring maybe?!
This may look rather intricate, but it really was a nice easy card to make up. Thanks for visiting and hopefully you too can get your card made up in advance....rather than last minute!
A few challenges....be sure to check them out too:

I love your Valentine's card, it's so bright and Spring like and the butterflies are a gorgeous touch. I'd never have thought of punching right round the card like that, it's a great idea and one I shall definitely try.
