A Valentine’s Day card for the love of my life!

It is difficult to make something that would show everything you feel about this person. It is even more difficult to put these feelings in words.
But somehow once I got the idea about the structure of the card ( thanks Bleshtuchka for the awesome idea!)the design just happened. I started working on it and things just clicked.
The original structural design( the shape of the card) is from here. Everything else is my idea.
Here is how it stared:

1. On a white and black piece of paper( 5 ” tall) I scored on 3″ and 8″

2. Here are the first basic shapes

This is by far the biggest card project I ever made. My husband couldn’t believe that I made it at first. He said that this was the best card he had ever received in his life and by the look on his face I believed him! 🙂

I am also participating with this card in the Crazy Challenge, an awesome new blog challenge that 2 of my virtual friends made couple of days ago! Come and see how much fun we are having!
