Happy Valentine's Day! I've never limited Valentine's Day cards to just my romantic partner; I enjoy sending them to friends and family, too (as noted on this non-traditional Valentine post), but this year the day just sneaked up on me and this one for my husband is the only one I managed to make. I did send some Jackie Lawson e-cards, however. Not quite the same, but at least family/friends know they're thought of.
The digi is from Di's Digi Stamps New 24 collection – Have the Micest Day. The digital paper is Prettygrafik's Valentine Deer. Just a note on the paper – I thought it was more red when I chose it (I was going for a red/pink scheme), but when printed it looks dark orange. I adjusted my coloring accordingly. This is the reason I color to match my paper and not the other way around! Enamel dots give a bit of bling.
