A CARD & A HALF

over at "A CARD & A HALF" the challenge is to create a MASCULINE card ..
this is one I did for my husband's birthday recently ..
the words read "you're the best", but unfortunately it did not show up very well in the pic.
I punched out the heart in patterned paper, then I cut it in half and combined it with black and hand stitched around the edge.. I used the big shot to cut out the letter B in chipboard then inked in black and distressed the edges.

hope you enjoy them ..
mega thanks for all your encouraging words..
love and hugz Heather x
