A Valentine card for a recovering american soldier

I Love You


Hello..it’s me again. Just a quick post to share my teaser card. I’ll be sending out a mass email to family and friends inviting them to come and make a card for a wounded soldier at the Walter Reed Amy Medical Center in Washington DC.  See you tomorrow! Hugs,Kathy

The background on this card is stamped with Hero Arts new Lace Background stamp. I stamped in black on white card stock and then used some markers to color the lace, cut out some of the flowers and added glossy accents. The penguin is from Memory Box called Rose Penguin.
