After checking a few internet information sites, I've come to the conclusion that the Greek god of love, the slender youth Eros (son of Aphrodite) was transformed by the Romans into Cupid, a chubby cherub, son of the love goddess Venus.
This transformation made me think of Tim Holtz' stamp and word band.
And so the tag evolved, complete with stamping on graph paper. Per chance, the scrap of paper was something left behind by the Romans? Ranger weathered wood distress ink was added for an aged look. This time I went with less is more in order to appreciate the Crafty Secrets background paper. Chipboard heart is covered with Ranger Distress Pewter metallic stain.

Thanks for increasing my knowledge! Your card is very pretty in that color combo.
Something special like Tim's work, i can just say i love it!
Also love the embossed background and the feather!
This is just the coolest! Love the monochromatic scheme you chose. Not often used for Valentine's Day!
Love the monochromatic tones, the silver heart, and that gorgeous feather! Such a fresh new way to make a Valentine's card!
So elegant in the delicate monochrome palette - and I love the feather as a finishing touch!

You are clever, stamping onto graph paper, it works incredibly well with that stamp.
Adorable in a very grown-up way - love this.
