For My Valentine and an Announcement!

Good afternoon, hope everyone is OK. Well, it is nearly Valentines day and I had to make a card for mine - my husband of course!!! I hope he doesn't see it on here!!
I have used the sketch at Midnight Madness which is shown below -

There was a choice of two sketches and I chose this one. Very apt I thought!!!
I used a Popcorn Bear stamp from the Romance Collection, isn't it cute. I have coloured it using the my watercolour crayons.

I have layered it on to Red miricard and I also inked the edges with red Versa colour ink. The sentiment is from Miss Cutie Pie she has a selection of Valentines tickets to download free.

I have added a few beautiful red roses and a large button with yarn tied through it.
Of course there are the challenges I shall be entering!!! Rather a lot at this time of year.
