Love Card

Hello everyone

Today I have made a different sort of card - well different for me anyway.  It is a DL card and I designed it on my Craft Artist solely from digikits.  I made the letters myself in Craft Artist.  Here is what it looks like in Craft Artist:

 

As I decided I was going to cut out and layer up the "Love" hearts, I decided to err on the side of caution and printed everything else direct to card.  I printed "Love" again separately and then took a deep breath and picked up a small pair of scissors.  It took me a long time but, with plenty of breaks to rest my wrist, I manged to do it.  Then I realised I had to cut the central heart out of the "e"!  So armed with my small scissors again, and my craft knife......  It was at this point that I started to consider how I would manage with my right wrist in a plaster cast and the end of one of my fingers on my left hand missing!  But all was well, if extremely slow and arduous (though perhaps a little rough around the edges!)  So here is the card printed and made up:

 

I have decided to enter this card into this weeks challenge at Auld Sentiments Challenge Blog which is to make a card with the word "Love" on it.

Thank you for calling by.
