52 Weeks Card Challenge Wk 6 - Valentines, hearts, no red or pink

                                     
this is for my gorgeous son! He will love this as he's animal bonkers. Just to state the obvious, the heart element is the flower petals - well, someone might have not guessed - don't shout!
This is the very first card I have made from a free pack in a magazine! I know, really bad of me but I hate using them up lol. It is of course the nitwits, along with a couple of yummy stamps I have recently acquired, the dotty on top and bottom and the grass.

Valentine for my valentine

I made this card over a course of weeks! I started with the tag background, moved on to the large heart and went from there. The heart was achieved with acrylic paint, glue and a heat gun. I love the wooden effect which goes with the heart! I finished it with layers of embossing and a stamp while it was warm. On the tag I used a freebie stamp which had the fitting sentiment meaning 'time files' as we have been married 25 years in May. With a few Robo cogs, clock backing paper and a sentiment and here it is!
                                              
                                     
                                                
I really love making tags - this is only the 3rd apart from some I did at Christmas for gifts - but it is a great way to play :o

Double slider for my mum!

Well, she is so special, just a single slider just wouldn't do!

This is made using a tesco carrier as the workings. I love this technique! As mum lives abroad, sending a present would be far too expensive so we let her buy her own and this makes a lovely money card. My gorgeous assistant helping here is my darling son!
