Raggedy Anne & Andy

Hello there!  Today I have a Valentine's Day card I made for my Mom to show to you  =)

My Mom's  name is Anni but because of her different spelling of her name, everyone for some reason seems to call her Anne so I thought that it would be cute to give her a card with Raggedy Anne on it, so I guess my Dad is now Andy, he he he

Every year since I was a very little girl I would ALWAYS give my Mom a Valentine from me, and even though I am now married and not living at home, the tradition still continues!  My Mom will always be my Valentine no matter what  =)

Here is a picture of my card for Mom....

What do you think of the perfect satin bow?? 

Well here is a little TIP:  I cut a piece of ribbon and made it into a circle and tacked it with a tiny glue dot, then I cut a piece of ribbon just a little longer than the card and put it behind the circle ribbon I made.  Then I took a brad and put the ribbon through the center prongs and tightened them around the ribbon circle & ribbon strand, and Voila! a perfect bow with ribbon for your card =)

SUPPLIES USED:
* 5x6.5 White card and envelope
* Copic X-Press Paper
* Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
* Copic Markers
* Anne and Andy Digi stamp from Melonheadz Illustrating (daily freebies)
* Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from Ink-d-dink-a-doo
* You Are Loved sentiment from Michaels $1.50 bin
* mom sentiment from Close to my Heart
* Pattern Paper is BoBunny 6x6 Enchanted Collection
* Red Cardstock is Textura Bold Paper Pack from my local $Store
* Navy Cardstock is from my scrap bin
* Red Satin Ribbon from my local $Store
* Red matalic hearts (x3) from Imaginisce using my I-ROCK tool to atttach
* Black Brad (unknown source) for center of bow
* Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8 (for each Anne and Andy + red matting)
* Creative Memories Black Liquid Chalk
