A Valentine in Blue


I finally started to get busy making Valentines, and created this one in the colors of white, blue and silver using an Inky Antics stamped image. I sponged clouds on the background with Tumbled Glass distress ink, then use a silver heart-shaped doily from my stash. The word balloon die is by PoppyStamps. I used SU! snippets of designer paper in Pacific Point blue along with black and white to add a 2nd balloon to match the one the bear is hanging onto. The bear was colored with Copics and fussy cut and I added liquid applique for his fuzzy little tail. The sentiment is also by Inky Antics.



Thanks for stopping by today and make it a great day whatever you do!

So adorable, Carol! That bear is the sweetest and I love that you made his tail fluffy! Great use of the metallic heart doily! I have a ton of these which I need to use! I also love that this is not in your typical Valentines colors! Great job! :)
