I Love You!

Hi HH Fans;

February is just around the corner and so is Valentine's Day.  

According to Wikepedia, Valentine's Day originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.. Even though it isn't a public holiday, it is still celebrated on February 14th, and many Valentine's Day cards are given out by children and adults alike.  Some as secret admirers.

For today's card I have used the adorable Kitty's Heart Frame paired with I love You! both from High Hopes Stamps.  After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I fuzzy cut it. I stamped the image again and cut around the heart shape and then used that mask to cut another heart using some mulberry paper.  A heart die was used with another piece of mulberry paper.  Some ribbon and enamel dots finished off the card.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Kitty's Heart Frame - S171, I love You! - D004 both from High Hopes Stamps
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP - Love Me - My Mind's Eyes, Mulberry Paper
• Copic Markers:

Happy Tuesday!

Well Christmas and the Holiday Season are over and the next Holiday to come is Valentine's Day! I have lots of time to colour with our Province wide lockdown, and thought it was a good time to get a jump start on my Valentine cards. This rubber stamp is called "Lg. Pickles Balloon Ride" from High Hopes Stamps. I think Pickles is just way too cute!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured Pickles in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I decided to stamp the "I Love You!" sentiment directly below Pickles. This is where the MISTI comes in handy for perfect placement. I added some clear glitter pen to the lip balloon for a fun look. The papers I used today are from the Echo Park "Be My Valentine" 6x6 collection. I added some ribbon, ribbon flag, button and enamel dots to finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Pig: R01, R20, R21/ W2, W5

Overalls: R27, R29, R59

Balloons: R24, R27, R29, R59/ RV52, RV55/ Yr21, YR23, YR24

Outline: B0000, B000, Copic 0
