Anyone else struggling to get back into the swing of things? Honestly, I just want to hang out at home in my jammies all day; alas, tomorrow it is back to work. I guess that means I will have to get dressed!
I haven't quite gotten back into the swing of blog posts either, but hopefully this week things will improve. Today's card is a Valentine in what I would consider nontraditional colors. It is also not a Valentine stamp. I love finding ways to make sets more versatile. These adorable bears in Sweet n Sassy Stamps' set, Winter Hugs were perfect for a Valentine card even though they are technically a 'winter set'.
I stamped them nose to nose and then with an old Heidi Swapp stencil I had, traced a heart behind them with a Pigma Micron Pen. I added shadows to the bears and colored the heart PURPLE (I can't believe I used purple) with Copic Markers.
My sketch is from MFT. I used a monoprint that I had made last summer with my Gel Plate, acrylic paints and bubble wrap.
The sentiment is fab; I am loving the fonts. It is from the new stamp set, Lots of Love.
I am also linking up to The Mod Squad Challenge, where the challenge is to make your own patterned paper (my monoprint).
I added a few purple gems and lots of clear Wink of Stella to the heart.
That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!
