Monkey Valentine's Day Card

My Boyfriend went to a buck's party tonight, so I thought while he was gone I would make his Valentine's Day card. I also made this card for my entry in this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge. Hope you all like it. :D

Monkey Valentine's Day Card

I used white card for my base card, which I covered with a glitter black spot patterned card.

I then coloured in a free Dustin Pike Monkey Digi Stamp in Photoshop, printed it on white card and then cut it out to a rectangle. Next I matted the digi to a piece of black card, which I then matted again to a piece of red foil card. I then attached it to the center of my card using double sided tape. I attached a red love heart ribbon across my card towards the bottom of the digi. I then made a bow out of a red love ribbon and attached it to the center of the love heart ribbon. Next I glued a red diamonte heart to the middle of the bow. Lastly I made and attached the sentiment.

1. First of all to make the sentiment I made and printed out on white card a long strip of red with the text "Happy Valentine's Day" in the middle. I then decided to roll the ends in, just to make it a bit different.

2. To roll the ends in, first you need to fold the end back (make sure you leave a few cm between the end of the text and the fold).

3. Then it's as simple as bending the edge of the fold over and rolling to where desired (make sure you stop at least 1cm before or after your text).

4. Then carefully roll the ends over so that you can flatten them out.

5. I then trimmed the ends into a  "V" shape.

I really enjoyed making this card, particularly the sentiment and I would like to thank Lisa from Willow Sketchie Challenge for a fantastic sketch. Good luck to all that enter. :D
