alas poor Bob

I've had this digi image for a while now, originally I bought it to make a wall canvas/hanging thing, but never got round to doing it.
So seeing that I'm in Valentines' mode..... *cough* and delicious doodles new challenge is Flowers, I thought I'd combine the two.

 
digi image "gothic heart" by delicious doodles
backing paper by Debbi Moore
gems
plain flowers coloured with propmarkers

Used Craft Artist professional to make the topper by inserting the digi image in and adding text.

Is it me??

Our store had two managers leave for better climes, this week. I can feel the abandonment issues flowing my way *lol*
Both are lovely people and both are moving within the same company to different stores, so at least we shall still see them.

so that meant two cards to make......I've accidently deleted one so that leaves this one.
