Happy Valentine's Day


Here are a couple Valentine cards I made and sent this year sitting side by side. They're slightly different with coloring and placement of that little pink heart on the sentiments.


The backgrounds were done with a Kat Scrappiness stitched heart cover plate die and the big white heart was cut with a Simon Says Stamp die. The Gerda Steiner mouse image was stamped, colored with Copics and a red glaze pen, then fussy cut and added to the large heart. The sentiment is also made by Gerda Steiner. Those little pink heart stickers are from Taylored Expressions. I put one on the right side....


and one on the left. This little mouse has a little more grey color than the one above but I think he's a cutie in any color.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:


The Critter Crazy Challenge #83 - A/G featuring a Critter





That's going to do it for me today but thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day filled with lots of love!

Carol

How cute and sweet Valentine cards!! This design is absolutely delightful with the pinpoint hearts background and the lace heart diecut! That adorable little mouse keeping the heart in his hands just melts my heart, he has the cutest smile! :)
Both the versions are equally precious, it's impossible choose a favourite.
Sending you Love and Blessings just as your sentiment says, dear friend!!! Biggest hugs ever!
