Today, Cathy gave us a fun sketch. I decided I would once again do a Valentine's card. I pulled out one of my old time favorite stamps. I think this couple look so romantic strolling down the lane on a beautiful clear day. I also decided this is the year I need to pull out my old trinkets I bought years ago and start using some up. I found this fun button that I thought looks like an old vintage broach
This will be for my Dear Mom & Dad. They will be celebrating 66 years of wedded bliss this year, so I thought I would make something special
Thanks so much for taking a closer look - hope you like it

You couldn't make a better valentine for your parents than this vintage beauty with the loving image. They will be thrilled....and especially since it was made by YOU.
What a wonderful image. Great coloring, great card!

This is really lovely, Barbie. Your background paper has a wonderful Victorian wallpaper look to it, perfect for your image. Congrats to you parents on 66 years! That does not happen often.
