This is the valentine card that I made for my husband, he's not a cute and cuddly sort of guy - I suppose it wouldn't really do much for his image as he teaches Martial Arts and is a black belt in both Taekwondo and Korean Kickboxing, so I broke out the Tim Holtz Valentine Blueprint collection.
I love Tim's Blueprint images, I've collected quite a few, so you could be seeing a lot more cards made with them in the future.
The base papers are from the Bearly Mine Designs Vintage Fantasy collection, I used distress inks and a Creative Expressions mask to create the large spots and stamped the Cupid image in one corner. I stamped the '14' image and added some colour with ProMarkers.
Some left over hearts from when I was trying to make a card for my eldest to give his girlfriend, a circular stamp from the Mama Elephant 'Confetti' collection and a die cut corner have been added.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I didn't know there was a Valentine blueprint TH image! I want it! Love this card - so well done Pauline. I think martial arts and blueprints have things in common - they are both structured, take a lot of work, and are very precise. LOL! Hugz!
