Brian's inspiration - My Mini Valentine

Yesterday afternoon, I was trawling the internet for something a little different from the ordinary,
when I happened across Brian King's blog and his post showing his little Valentine.
Well - straight away I knew that I wanted to make a little Valentine too -
and this is what I came up with - A Mini Valentine Easel Card.

Open - front view
Open - side view
Closed - top view 

View to show size
I used the 1" and 1/2" circle punches,
7/8" and 1.1/4" scallop circle punches
A small (flattened) Soda Pop Top
The flower in the centre of the Soda Pop Top was punched with the
1/2" circle punch out of a piece of the Print Poetry DSP stack.
The "brake" for the easel was made by stamping the sentiment from My Little Valentine
sentiment, then cutting out with one of the punches from the Little Label Punch Pack.
What do you reckon Brian??

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
