I Love You

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out!!! :)  It is a really non-traditional Valentine and totally inspired by my favorite TV show.  You have my utmost respect and admiration if you can name what the show.  I will tell you at the end for those of you not in the know.
The card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4."  The card base is black cardstock and the white mat is 4 3/8"x6 1/8."  The damask cardstock is 4 1/4"x6." 
 
The smiley face is cut from my Silhouette Cameo.  It is about 2" tall.  I covered it in two coats of UTEE, since I wanted it to look shiny, like it was drawn on with spray paint. 
 
I used my Cricut and Sans Serif to create the sentiment.  I cut the letters at 3/4" and hand cut the white rectangles to fit each letter.  This card actually had a lot of texture, not just the shiny smiley face, but also the damask cardstock - it is flocked.
 
I don't know if I will give this to my husband for Valentine's Day next year or if I should give it to him to give to ME!  ;)  I got him into the show too, but I don't think he is quite as obessessed about it as I seem to be.  Oh, for those of you who don't know what TV show I am talking about, it is "Sherlock."  It is a BBC show, but it plays on PBS in the States and you can find it on Netflix.  I highly suggest you check it out!
 
I made this card for the following challenges:
