A Blast From The Past #2 Valentine Card

  Every Monday I'm going to add a card, or creation that I made waaay back, as I've noticed a lot of my pictures from years ago have disappeared. So...here we go with something from either the 1st of the month, first time I'd used or done something or... made on a Monday! This one is the first time I made a 'heart' easle card and the first time I'd used this 'Tatty Ted'

Be My Valentine! From Guess Who!?!

"I Love You This Much!" At Last I've made a card! I've used a 'Me to You' Tatty Ted from a sticker set, fixed onto acetate and a folded strip of card, so he can stand up, on my easel Valentine card made specially for 'him in doors'. John. (Hubby)
I made the usual easel shaped card but then cut the bit that goes on the front in a heart shape and edged all round with red Stickles Glitter to help hide my not so good cutting out!
I've used Sizzix 'Love' 'Heart' and 'Hearts' die cuts.
Who can spy those velvet hearts from Hobby Craft that Tom (sil) left behind from making his card! (I love that rose!)
Probably not a very 'manly' card but never mind! I've also used freebie backing papers from Quick Cards Made easy Magazine, which allows me to enter their February Challenge, I hope! You can download the papers here. You may have to login. (UP DATE>>>Or Try Here for other Valentine freebies as Quick Cards Magazine is no more!)
I cut out the I Love You This Much sentiment using a small heart shaped punch. The font is also a freebie. It's called Dragline BTN  or just Google the name.
On this picture, you can just spot the pink card behind Tatty Ted, holding him slightly off the page. There was a pink spotted bow, but that seems to have fallen off! (trust me to spot that after I've taken the pictures!)
New Follower! Hi and a BIG ((wave)) to AV_H which sounds all very mysterious, from 'Down Memory Lane, who has made a card using one of my digi's! And, I should think, coloured it beautifully in Photo Shop. (I must learn how to do that shading!) There should be another very late 'Quirky' card is on it's way, but my batteries... I mean, my camera's batteries have just bleeped at me! That's it! Thank you for stopping by!
