Curiously, it wasn't one I made custom for him, it was one that I made at a CTMH workshop. It was a very awesome workshop! We made this card on an acetate card base, then we made a horizontal card on regular cardstock - same sketch, only rotated 90 degrees. Finally, we made a gift box with a clear cover, holding 4 3x3 mini cards with handmade envelopes and 3 covered Hershey nuggets. The cost for this workshop - only five dollars! That was for 3 sheets of cardstock, 2 sheets of DP, a clear card base, a sheet of transparency, all the buttons and ribbons (there was a two feet piece of pink twill ribbon holding the gift box shut!), and full color handout with photos of all the projects, instructions, and cutting diagrams - everything was stacked on a placemat when we sat down, and we just read the directions and crafted our little hearts out for 3 solid hours.
Anyway, I gave my husband this one because I was pretty sure he hadn't seen it (I have quite a few freshly scanned valentines hanging around my computer desk), it's very luxurious, and I really like the sentiment!
It's a pretty talented group, too - not every group of cardmakers can sit down with uncut cardstock and directions and complete something this complicated.
I wonder if the challenge blogs will like it as much as my husband?

I dont know if the challenge blogs could love it as much as I do. Fantastic ... as usual. And I love how you explain how you did it too ...
Great card Juliet, love how the sentiment is the focal point with all the wonderful stamping and papers to accent it.
You asked when the Creative Cowgirl Hop ends it is the 26th Feb. Sorry if the posting didn't make this clear but we hope to see you again. :-) xx
gorgeous card, hope your valentine loves it! Thanks for joining in the challenge at 2 Sisters! =)Tiffany DT
Ah, custom or not - it's gorgeous! And we're so lucky to have YOU. Thanks for playing along with Catered Crop.
the acetate is a wonderful unexpected touch. Great color combo as well, I'm sure your hubby loved his very thoughtful card!
This is gorgeous, Juliet! I love the sentiment and the way you created a four-leaf lucky clover using hearts! The partial doily really accents it nicely as does the acetate panel.
Lovely creation with such pretty details and a fantastic flower, thanks so much for celebrating our birthday this week at OSAAT. I have some candy on my blog if you'd like to enter

Beautiful card Juliet! I love that you explain how you made this- I have never made an acetate card- love the colors too!
Beautiful card! I didn't even think about making a v-day card for my hubby, so you are so much better crafter than me. At least you gave him a card! A beautiful one!
What a sweet sweet Valentine! Thanks for cooking it up with the Catered Crop recipe!
I love everything about your card! The patterns are great, and the sentiment is cute. Thanks for playing along at OCC!
