Cardmaking - a heart with some embossed musical notes

I made this card for my DH for Valentine's Day!!!  I cut a red card to fit in a large envelope from my stash  I cut a piece of feathery yellow and red leaves and tore it in two pieces.  I embossed musical notes in the garp before adhering the two pieces to my card front.  I did watercolour the white edge of my torn paper to coordinate better with all my elements.  I added the short piece of yellow seam binding with double sided tape where the heart would cover it and then added the fussy cut heart (Melonheadz) watercoloured to coordinate with my background and seam binding.  

We had a wonderful meal at home which DH planned and cooked.  I prepped chocolate for dessert and salad!!  It was delicious!!  There were a few leftovers as well which made another meal for us.

Slow Stitching - fabric collage tea cups on black fabric

 I have made it back to Knit and Stitch this month and finished up the tea cup fabric collages I had started earlier.  I really like the way they turned out.  I did blanket stitch around the edges of all the pieces and then added a row of stem stitch to define the inside of the saucer and added stem stitching for the steam.  

I have started on the cacti and will post when they are done.
