I FINISHED THE VALENTINE'S CARD!

Here it is, my completed Valentine's card! I think it turned out quite good, despite some slightly wonky lettering!

Wow! that's stunning!

[bk_forever]

Thank you! I hit a snag when I'd finished the stiching and realised I didn't have a card blank big enough to fit all three pieces on, so I just folded an A4 piece of card in half and managed to squeeze them in, lol!

Beautiful work! Your special person is very lucky. :)

[bk_forever]

I hope he likes it. His version of enthusiasm is usually to say "Huh." so it's hard to tell sometimes.

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

Ah, the strong silent type, eh?

[bk_forever]

Definitely a man of few words, lol!

[too-beauty.livejournal.com]

awesome! and I think this time he would say more than Huh!

[bk_forever]

In over 30 years, he never has, lol! I'm used to it.

Thank you!

That's adorable! I take it you have a "special someone?"

[bk_forever]

Yeah, had him for over 30 years. He's the only reason I have - and can use - a computer. He got me started, way back when 'computer' meant ZX Spectrum, lol!

Thank you.

Wow thats amazing!
And you've obviously put a lot of time and effort and love into it. I hope he says more than "huh"!
Do you have any special valentines plans?

[bk_forever]

Nah, aside from cards we don't really do Valentine's day, it's too close to my birthday, and I won't see him until the weekend anyway. Not being able to go out doesn't help either. *shrugs* We've got used to that over the last 30 odd years. We're a weird couple, need our own space.

Thank you.

That's adorable. I love it.

[bk_forever]

Thank you, I was pleased with the way it turned out in the end after misjudging the size of the stitched pieces and having to make a card big enough to fit them all on!

That is fantastic! All that work...wow...

[bk_forever]

Thank you. I changed some of the colours so I could have a colour theme that went through all three - the patchwork one was originally pink and blue, but I wanted something bolder and with some of the yellow and purple from what I call the chocolate box heart.

Beautiful, love the cross stitch!

[bk_forever]

Thank you! I enjoyed stitching these, but I changed some of the colours to make a colour scheme that ran through all three motifs. I wanted it to be bold and bright.

This is absolutely beautiful! Well done, my friend!

[bk_forever]

Thank you! It took some fiddling about, but I like how it turned out =D

These are really beautiful J! I hope you are doing well.
I am hanging in there, hopefully will do a full LJ post as soon as I can. :)

Hey! *hugs* How are you?

Life's been chaotic around here, I don't seem to have time for everything that needs doing.

Glad you like the card, I was pleased with the result. I was worried I wouldn't get it done in time. ou know me, always manage to leave things until the last minute! *rolls eyes* I wish I was more organised, lol!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

*hugs to everyone* Haven't Alex and Michael recently had birthdays?

superb. I love the colors.

[bk_forever]

Thank you! I changed the colours from the pattern a bit so I could use some of the same colours in each one and also because I wanted a bright red instead of pink. It turned out nice and bright.
