With all the cards I’m making, I still needed to make a Valentine’s Day card for my wonderful boyfriend of almost 5 years. I did it with him right here in the room, because he doesn’t know which cards I’m keeping, nor did he actually ever look over at my desk.

I used one of my favourite heart stamps (Heartlines by Impression Obsession), stamped in brown ink, then coloured in. I also used some of my new favourite paper, this amazing woodgrain by Bo Bunny. It was in the 10 / $1 section of my local scrapbook store. I almost passed it by, because the other side, the side that was on display, was an old wood gym floor with basketball markings. Turn it over, it’s the same wonderful floor, without the black lines!

I bought a lot of this paper for another project, and I have a lot left over, so I’ll be using it fairly often I think.

I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly #34 to get me going, and the card also qualifies for Simon Says Stamp, and Cute Card Thursday‘s challenges this week – both are looking for Love-themed cards this week, oddly enough.
