I will fix it in the morn...and explain this out of the box...opps, chest card! Here goes...
So like a heart surgeon, I am back to fix my upload! When I was at my wonderful Oregon Art Supply store, I couldn't help but spy this realistic image of a heart and being the quirky, wonky artiste that I am, I had to have it! And so it's been patiently waiting in my studio to 'Exercise' it...to put it through it's paces, to start life SUPPORT. And so, thank you kindly Cathy for bringing us this fun heart-shaped sketch.
I used bits and pieces of dp scraps for the panels of my card...'vintage' Basic Grey here and Daisy D there, with a tad of My Mind's Eye thrown in for fun. The Love postmark with the cancellation 'Paris' (thinking of you, my oHIo friend) and heart shaped stamp is unknown rubber found at Goodwill...two whole sheets of cling mounted red rubber images. I love that flowing font, don't you? The pink main panel is embossed with the classic Textile Cuttlebug ef, I added vintage German scrap in black. I actually cut it 2/3 the top with the scallop and 1/3 the bottom that has pinked edging. Finished it off with a crystal tag marking the years [27], a pink velvet brad and a red metal arrow.
Thanks so much for looking and leaving your thoughts...I know dear hubs will have a heartwarming {mine} laugh over this one! And after *27* years, it is still good to giggle...

Seeing your card reminded me of the wonderful heart lesson one of our school board members (who is in the medical field) would come and give our kindergarteners every year in February. What a terrific "real" heart!

Hmmm, Valentine for a cardiac surgeon? card for someone who is 27 years surviving a heart condition? 27th anniversary? Can't wait to hear the explanation! Love the way you stamped on your banner and the tiny borders on your strips.

Oh how cool is this Susan!!! Love all the different elements and how beautifully they came together! LOVE the personalization and the best part is the stamp found at Goodwill!!! All the times i have stopped there and looked around... i have never found any stamps! Lots of other stuff I've come how with to alter, etc... but no stamps! Gotta love when you make a find like that!!!
