Ah oh! Valentines is upon us, and I had not made my mom a Valentine's Day card, so an emergency card session took place.
Here it is. Will still be in my mom's good grace's!
Tried to make it look a little vintage by using a so called splatter stamp on the very vanilla cardstock - in Early Espresso - I promise you, that splatter is not black. One punch used for borders - SU scallops - oh how I wish I had the heart border punch! Early Espresso and Piroete Pink Card stock used, and big SU heart punch used to punch out Bo Bunny Bouquet of Love papers.
Ahh! Finished! Punch Tally - 2 ! RYPH!
Thanks for looking!

How sophisticated and classy this Valentine is. I love the paper you used for your hearts...so pretty. The swiss dot embossing and border punch was the perfect accompaniment to this lovely card.
Yes, my Mom has osteoporosis and I think she has fractured another bone in her spine. I can just imagine what you are going through with yours as hers are so painful.

Cap 'n Canada, I love this card. Oh, your mom must have felt so special to receive such a darling card from you ... of all people. I love the 3 hearts and the punched border. It's all so sweet, unlike you.

I really tried to find something, anything, that I could point out as some kind of mistake, but it's impossible: your card is flawless. I cant believe you actually made it!!!! baahalwbabahha or whatever it is you sometimes add to your comments.

Beautiful card, Debzi! I'm surprised that you loaded your mom's valentine with spy cameras...now just why would you want to spy on your mom...unless she had some heart border punch you wanted and were seeing when she wasn't home...!
