Alfie


 I pulled this old favorite Unity stamp called "Alfie" from my stash and made a simple valentine with it. I colored him with Copics, adding glossy accents to his little red heart, then die-cut the image with a stitched heart die. I die-cut a diagonal stitched border with some retired SU! Valentine dsp, then added a sentiment done with a retired SU! stamp on a Lil Inker stitched die. The tiny hearts were found in my little bottle of itty bitty snippets and placed randomly on the red card base.

I'm sharing this with the Cute Card Thursday Challenge 671 - Valentines






Thanks for stopping by and do have yourself a great weekend!

Carol

Gosh, that is one of the cutest mouse stamps I've ever seen! And I love the diagonal stripe - just the way the arrow would be through the heart! Great job, Carol!

This valentine card is just delightful!!! Such wonderful design, so elegant and also cute with that sweet Alfie-mouse!! The diagonal stripe of dp has been a clever choice to add the right movement to the design! And love the tiny hearts, I too have a little plastic bottle full of minuscule pieces, so useful in lot of occasions! :D
Hope all is going well for you, my friend!
Sending lots of hugs and good vibes on your way!

He made an adorable Valentine. The dog we had when the boys were growing up was named Alfie.

Your design and watercoloring of sweet Alfie knocks my socks off, Carol! This is my new favorite CASlicious Of All Time card! Makes me wonder ... do I still have that old wooden stamp of a mouse holding a heart ...? He's not as cute as Alfie though! And I love the airy white diagonal stripe behind the heart and wee tiny brads! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
