Valentine mini cards

Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful and happy Christmas!! You always hear about talk of a let down after the holidays and I hope you are not experiencing any of that. Today at the Penny Black BLOG  Valentine mini cards are being featured by each designer.

3 Mini Cards
I just love this image … the possibilities are endless.

Below is the set of two mini cards that I create for the blog. I used two oval nesties for the body of the trees and  Tombo markers but, any will do the trick. Don’t you find it so relaxing to water color?

For the grass I used worn lettuce distress ink and I wrapped the heart with some colored embroidery floss.

I have another card using this entire image that I will post another time because I still have to photograph it.

 The hearts and the flower are from this image to the left…another one of my favorites.

I forgot to mention the first card I used copic markers and the mini cards I used Tombo water color markers. Sorry I don’t have a supply list today I have family waiting for me.

Have a great week. Hugs, Kathy

    I luv the way you colored this stamp, esp. the first rounded card! I totally agree with you that this stamp has lots of possibilities! I luv those kind of stamps that you come up with many ideas when you see the stamp at first! 🙂 Your those signature “white dots” on everywhere on those stamped images are just Awesome!! 🙂
