Card Design: From the Heart Stamps February Challenge

It is time to post my project for the February, From the Heart Stamps (FTHS) progressive stamp of the month challenge.  I was a bit worried I wasn't going to get it done but thankfully I pulled it off with a couple days to spare.

In order to enter the progressive challenge, you must either have received the latest image by having participated in the previous month or you can buy the stamp for the current month's challenge.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules is a winner because you automatically get the stamp for the next month's challenge.  Stop by the site and check out the rules for yourself.  While you are there, have a look around.  They have some really awesome images.

Here are my card and details.  I hope I haven't forgotten anything important...

General Information:

• To help inspire you, I have created a simple, love you card.  Although this one definitely has a humourous touch.  Another one to add to the pile I'm making for the hubs this year, just because, and this month's challenge provided me with the perfect opportunity to continue.  So, on cue...
