Tiny Valentine Friends

Happy Thursday, peeps! No challenge today, just a cute little Valentine card whose idea had been incubating in my head for a while, LOL!  Here we go:


I have seen amazing cards in blogland using these Waffleflower stencils and dies, and my friend Michele inspired me to get a set to try for myself! So far, I've only used Christmas images, but when I was looking through my Valentine stamps, I came across this little Papertrey set and thought the images would work well with with them.  I used some pastel colors to sponge in the stamps, then stamped the images in Versafine black ink and colored them with markers and ink, then added the postage images on top.  I am still getting the hang of sponging, but all in all, I thought it turned out pretty cute!



I put the whole shebang on a piece of Pink Pirouette, then on a Basic White card and added a Valentine sentiment on the inside!  This will be going out in the mail real soon!

I haven't had any photos of Cassidy lately; she's been a busy lady, playing on two basketball teams, one for school and one for rec.  She is honing her skills and learning how to be a team player, but I will admit, she doesn't like to lose and you can tell it by her face, LOL!  But she is only in 8th grade, so I look forward to how she'll improve over the next few years!  She chose her high school classes this week, so that's a big scary step, but I'm praying that her first year in high school will go well!

Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
