Oh Puh...leeze!! be mine

Happy Valentine's Day.  this is the card I made for my special guy.  My Darling Husband of 28 years. Chico and I met in 1980 shortly after I moved to Las Vegas.. I was dating his roommate.  Needless to say, I broke it off with the roommate, and after a few months started to date Chico. It was kind of strange at first.  but Chico and I have had a great marriage.  I wanted the card this year to be a little on the fun side so I choose a really great image from the Scrapbook Stamp Society called Lil Bella, by Heather Valentin.  She always, makes some very fun images to work with.  I colored the image with copic markers, and had a lot of fun using some of the Florissant colors on this card.
The Oh Pul leeze be mine is  a stamp from Penny Black.  I stamped this on Vellum and cut it out using Spellbinders die.  This was the first time I tried it on vellum.. and it worked great.  will be doing it again. to stick these on I put them through the xyron.
I used a doily from a local restaurant,  and this is my first try of using lace.. I found I could not stick it on the same way I normally do.. so I just taped down the ends and called it good.. I choose a scrap of designer paper left over from last year  layered on brown.  
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine' s Day
Debbie

That's super cute and I LOVE the lace!! For me, I use the ribbon glue that they sell at Hobby Lobby to adhere my lace. Wonderful card, hope the Hubby loved it! Cheers Holley
