Happy Valentine's Day

 I had to wait to post my hubby's valentine because he occasionally looks at my blog. He ended up surprising me with a hand made card, he has been buying my cards lately.

I will start with the one I made for him, I used more of the ephemera from Birgit that I shared in my earlier post.

So hubby told me that he had every intention on buying me a card, but he said he was looking at his empty tissue box at work and thought he could possibly make one from it.  Now all I have to say is that only an artist could look at this Puff's box and say yep I see a bird there, LOL.  He made this for me on his breaks :)

He was trying to describe the pieces he used for the box and then he googled Puff's and found the actual picture off the box that he used to make the purple ground and the bird. That is her eye for the bird's eye and  her hair is the feathers. That little cloud he cut out from the package also and the tree is just the inside of the box and he drew out the tree, cut it out and added the texture to the tree.  Isn't that clever, and get this, he had some glue stick but it had dried up so he only had one sided tape to use to put it together, so he had to roll it to make it double sided to stick everything down. The tree is located in just the right spot to hide the words that were on the box.

Here is a picture of the side of the box he used for the ground, bird and cloud.

Here is close up, I just really can't imagine looking at that girl and thinking I could cut out a bird from it and seeing that arch and thinking that would make a good base for the card.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
