He even brought it to work to show off :) This would make a great valentine too! Or showing a girlfriend some "support" type card! All the supplies used are Stampin Up of course!! The first pic shows the front and back of the card I made my hubby!

Cardstock: Blush blossom, Bridesmaid Specialty Paper, Real Red
