Oops, my bad! On my stamping calendar, I only wrote 'Love' for this challenge, and didn't notice the bit about hearts til just now!!!! Yikes! Hope they don't make me a benchwarmer for the next few weeks;)
Here is my FREAKY love card! Yes, I admit it's unconvential and maybe even a bit, dare I say it, GROSS! But my little National Geographic lovin' 7 yr old is gonna think it's a pretty sweet Valentine!

Lemme tell ya folks, it's a bright one!!!! Practically found my way upstairs last night at 1:00am without even turning on a light! I used the ridiculously cute Zoo-pendous set, building myself a little scene with trees, branches and snakes;) I used my copic mulitliner to draw in the rest of the tree trunks to make them taller. Everything is coloured with copics and I added a bit of spica glitter pen to the snakes spots, underbellies and tongue. Glaze was added to the eyes. The tree tops and leaves were paper-pieced and popped up on dimensionals. I used the same BG paper pack that was on my desk from a few cards ago;)

The sentiment was stamped on an MFT dienamic, and the big artichoke SU button was threaded with a double hemp twine bow. Lots of machine stitching and silver brads finish it off!

And don't forget about my TSG GIVEAWAY!!! You still have til Friday to leave me a comment for your chance to win!! Check out the deets on this post:)

Since this is such a wacky valentine and completely non-traditional, I'll be entering it in The Ribbon Carousels challenge, which is to use non-traditional colours!
