Happy Valentines to "ewe"...

 Have you ever seen a Cupid Lamb?  LOL!  Me neither ... but makes for a good sentiment - 
"Happy Valentine's Day to Ewe..."

A simple card with a ribbon, faux brads and sparkle on the wings.  Boys don't like a bunch of frou-frou!
TIP:  Just a note on the construction of the faux brads - I used two different sized hand punches (like what you would use to punch a hole in the top of a tag for example) for the little circles.  I used card stock the color I wanted, glued them down to the four corners of each of the two layers and then used Diamond Glaze to make them shiny and rounded like a real brad.  This is a great way to make brads that match your colors.
