Optional Wings

Shhhhh, don't tell my hubby about this card...

 

I was struggling BIG TIME with a romantic card for the hubster. I knew I was going with a traditional colour combo and a big heart, but just couldn't decide where I was headed after that. Then I discovered Penny Black Saturday Challenge was offering Optional WINGS. I had a light bulb moment and went in search of ducks...

This adorable stamp (Penny Black Slapstick - Loving and Hugging) is such an oldie that I can't find a link to one on sale anywhere. Such a shame as it's so much fun.

Thanks also to the following Challenges for pointing me towards the other elements of this card.

Addicted to CAS Challenge #251 - Heart

After all that, I just hope he likes it!

So is that you all prepared ready for valentine's day then?

Hope you had a good weekend.

What a great Valentine's Day card. Those ducks are definitely the stars of your card and I like the texture of the embossed background panel and the stripes of the heart shape. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
