Heart and star love card

The Create Blog has challenged us to create a card using rolled paper. Here's what I came up with.
I cut a circle out of patterned paper, cut into the circle in 8 places, and rolled the cut pieces into points. Then I created a pop pom out of yarn and trimmed it to look like a heart. I glued the heart into the center of the rolled paper "star". I glued the star onto the same patterned paper that it was cut from making sure to align it exactly with the pattern. Personally, I think that was a really cool effect. And, then I cut a border out of cardstock to slide under the points. The whole thing is mounted on a piece of white cardstock and measures about 6.25 inches by 6 inches.
Now I just have to hope that my love doesn't ever look at my craft blog!
