I thought I'd share yet another Valentine's Day card with you all. I made this one for my mom to give to my dad. My dad works with cars so I thought a car would be a perfect image on a card for him. Then I thought I could do two cars...one in black, one in hot pink, with 'Varoom!' to indicate how they still feel about each other after 45 years of marriage. What do you think? I think the 'Varoom' is really funny...I hope my dad will get a kick out of it! :-) And I love all the shiny, glittery papers...perfect for a Valentine.
