Valentine's Day Card with Bugaboo Stella Valentine Digi

I really have to plan in advance if I want my cards to arrive in the States on time anymore. What used to take around 10 days now takes a month. I was proud of myself for getting this States bound Valentine and another one done and in the mail a month in advance. I know that most people think of Valentine's Day as a romantic/couples kind of holiday, but I don't; I think of it as a love in general holiday hence this Valentine's Day card for a dear cousin. I thought he'd appreciate the Stella humor and it gives me an opportunity to finally color this digi up and put it on a card.

Oh man, I miss Bugaboo digis! There were some funny ones, like the Stella You Ain't Gettin' ****! digi on this Christmas card.

The bright paper is Minnie from now-defunct Tactile Studio's digital paper line and although I've had it for years, this is my first time to use it. Check out the foam button stickers! I found these the other day; they're flat, lightweight, and in several sizes and colors. I suspect you'll be seeing more of these.
