OK…so my friend, who is a 23 year-old guy, called me at the beginning of the week begging for my help. You see, he wanted to make a Valentine’s card for his girlfriend because they were sort of celebrating it all week with the big surprise coming today. During this week he has surprised her with a rose at a different spot during her day, even though he was not with her. Even in a bowling alley when she was there with her school, he dropped the rose off ahead of time. Aw…so romantic! So today he is surprising her in the card by telling her he is taking her to Baltimore for a romantic day trip. So I decided I would put him through the ringer a bit (hee hee) and make him do a couple of things. First I sat him down and we talked color. Then we proceeded up to my studio and I had him make a one-sheet wonder using Heart prints. Then I made him emboss them. I told him it would impress her incredibly. I think he just liked playing with the heat gun. He was so cute and proud. So he mixed sets, using “Love Songs” for the main image. He is a guitar player, so it works, and his girlfriend loves the Beatles, so he picked the round “All You Need is Love” sentiment for the O. Check it out!
Maybe this will lead to…Mawaige!!!! I mean, how can she resist a man who makes matching envies? ***swoon***
Hope you have a blast in Baltimore guys! Hope you love it Brittany! He worked VERY hard!
