Alfie


Here's a valentine I made with a favorite stamp from my collection. This is Alfie, a stamp from Unity that I've treasured for years! I stamped the image with light grey ink, then colored him with Copics, adding a few darkened highlights with a marker pen. I used a MFT stitched circle die along with a Spellbinders scalloped circle die in darker blue to place Alfie on. I used some T.E. cloud stencils to create the sky along with Tumbled Glass distress ink; then added the Inky Antics (1999) sentiment. I finished the card with a few tiny glittered heart stickers I've had for ages!
This might be my favorite Valentine I've made this year so far.

I'll share this with the following challenges:

Critter Crazy Challenge Blog #59 = A/G featuring a critter


(Optional - My Fauna Valentine (include a critter)




Dies R Us Challenge #186 - Valentines/Love

Your Valentine mouse is so sweet! He does look perhaps a little lovelorn. ;) Great background, too, with the scattering of teeny hearts. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers for the Stencil Challenge!

Heartwarmingly charming card with the loveliest, softest colours. They feel superbly at home as winter begins to gradually pass the reigns to spring.
