Happy Valentine's Day

These are Julian's Valentine cards for his school friends.  I had the idea of making a red card, and I did want to use the Pinking Hearts border punch... but as the night went on, while we were at Sue's house, and after a couple of tea cups... I got feedback and suggestions from my fellow Divas that were present at the moment, and this is the end result of such great team work:

 

Nothing complicated, just simple and straight forward... I thought it would take days for Julian to write all the 18 names, but he was fast, and he had fun writing his name 18 times, I had to keep telling him that his name was needed so the person that gets the card knows from whom it is... :D

Ingredients: Card stock: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black (for heart). Ink: Early Espresso. Scallop circle punch, Heart Small punch. Big Shot: Two Tags die. Fine Galaxy Red glitter.

Feliz dia del amor y la amistad,
