At home, I am known to forget about wish cards, or simply not putting enough effort into cards. I think that for this Valentine’s Day, I redeemed myself for all the previous times. I passed hours coming up with a card I made myself, based on a collage of photos of happy moments passed together. The card is also huge, printed on 13″x19″ photo paper folded in 2. Here is the front of the card:

I also put a lot of details on the back of the card:

One may find the numbers from the barcode pretty spooky… Bigger versions (up to 1000 pixels) of these are available here.

For the front of the card, I used a small program called “Shape Collage“. With this program, you can make very interesting collages of any shapes with only a few mouse clicks. Here is a video tutorial which is also a great way to see what can be done with it:
