Valentine Book Card




Good afternoon everyone.....hope you are having a fun weekend with some time for crafting. I'd like to share a Valentine book card I was requested to make by a co-worker. I featured the whimsical couple by Kenny K which I found totally adorable. I colored the image with copics and featured them on papers from
BoBunny's Crazy Love collection. One of the flowers is from Magnolia and the other two are from my awesome friend, Jacque. The lace and ribbon is from my stash.
The inside of the card features a pocket with a tag for a short message.
The accordian style box was NOT EASY to put together. Believe me, my husband heard a lot of "bitching" coming from the craft room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took several tries before I finally had a decent version. It just takes lots of patience.

Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment. Your support means the world to me. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Hugs, Christina
