Happy St. Valentine's Day! No romantic meal for 2 for me ... we were at a 5 year old's birthday party with chocolate cake and pass-the-parcel instead ... much better craic :)
Anyway this is the card I made for my other half. As you know I'm not into 'mushy' cards, and had half an idea knocking about my head for a few days to use this little alien and that sentiment. I had intended to stamp my sentiment on the moon, but I forgot myself and embossed my circles before I remembered. Not to worry, I love how it turned out!
Alien from High Hopes - Alien Special Set
Moon from Paper Smooches - Smarty Pants
Sentiment from The Alley Way Stamps - More than Words
All coloured with watercolour pencils. White paint splattered on BG and a few starry gems added. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the moon using an old Ellison Design folder.

I'm not into mushy cards either, Lynne. This is perfect! Cute alien, and great use of the embossing folder for the moon. Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations.
