This was made for chellenge LSC154. I was playing around with a few other stamps and trying to come up with a good valentine when this stamp caught my eye... the PERFECT Valentine for my dh!! We just love the movie A Christmas Story (watch it non-stop every Christmas!) and if you're a fan of that movie then you'll recongize this stamp and the quote!
I found the stamp at Sideshow Stamps (www.sideshowstamps.com) and when my dh saw it he said "OMG you HAVE to buy that stamp... I don't care what it costs". Words I never thought I'd hear uttered from his mouth! So I bought it (and a few other things... might as well save on shipping right?) and here is my Valentines day card for him.
The sentiment/quote was printed on my computer. The fishnet background is actually toile backgrounder from CHF. ***(I'm such an IDIOT!! I've been referring to the background as Toile....it's Tulle!!! I need to get my fabrics staight!! Sorry about that!)*** I added dots along the edges of the card base and image for challenge WT152.
Thanks for looking!

I always thought the the scene where the man opens this lamp in the movie....the look on the wife's face is utterly priceless!!!!! I can actually see this stamp used for so many occasions. Love your card and the embellishments, your coloring and how you captured shade light....and that fishnet looking background. Not sure how toile looks like fishnets...but this card just works...no electrical comment intended!!!!! Beautiful done!!!!!
