Non-traditional Valentine

Sorry, couldn't get a decent pic of this card ... it looks much better IRL!  I've added loads of sparkle to the die cut stars and to the dino's markings, toenails and horns.  Also a wee bit of hand stitching as Santa was a bad man and didn't bring me a new sewing machine, ah well, maybe next year!

I've been psyching myself up to make some cards for Valentine's Day ... and you know that I don't do lovey-dovey!  Ha.
I thought this wee dino would be good for a non-traditional Valentine, but I think it might have been better with some hearts instead of die cut stars.  Maybe it looks more like a well done card??
