A Valentine Wish winging your way

Happy Monday to Everyone.
At least this one was warmer than last week, or at least it was in my neck of the woods.

As tomorrow is Valentines Day it seemed the right moment to share this card that I made a couple of weeks ago for one of the guys at work to send to his fiance in Pakistan.

I love this bear stamp. He is a Whipper Snapper stamp called 'Love Bear' (LY855) and is just perfect for Valentines Day, or any other romantic occasion for that matter.
 He has been coloured using coffee.

 I used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder which was then cut out using a heart shaped nestie, and sanded to give it a vintage feel. The flower and swirly foliage are both DooHickeys from Sir Stampalot, as is the Heart border.

I paper pieced the LOVE from old Penny Black background papers from my stash and added my favourite Hero Arts F5042 Leaf Flourish stamped with gold encore ink.
I would like to enter it in to the following challenges

The Stamp Man - Texture
Hooked on Craft Challenge 17 - Hearts
Make My Monday Week 36 - Hearts and Flowers
Ooh La La Creations Challenge 98 - Be My Valentine
Stamp and Create - Valentine's Day / Love
Dream Valley Challenge 25 - Valentine

I'm off to bed now, not feeling quite so cold ridden tonight but still not 100% so maybe a relatively early night will help.
Roll on the Spring is all I can say.
