Cutsie Valentine Card

I am loving this Lawn Fawn Baaah Humbug stamp set! It’s amazing that with just a little Copic coloring and some DecoArt Snow Writer for texture, these little critters come out so cute.

I used C0, 1, and 3 for the ram’s face, horn and feet; E50, 51 and 53 and R20 for blush on the ewe; and R22, 22, 24 and 29 on the ewe’s bow. I used the matching dies to cut them out and then used the We R Memory Keepers Doily Heart Die and a medium heart from the Diemond Dies Nesting Hearts Die Set to make a little background to frame them with some red card stock and heart patterned paper scraps from the old DCWV “the Doodlin’ Around Stack.”

For the sentiment, I used the “love” from the Love Laugh Smile Scripted Die Cut from Little Yellow Bicycle and the “ewe” from the stamp set that I hand cut into a little banner.

Then because I thought the card was looking a little stark, I decided to add some dots with Copic R20, 22 and 24 and my Clear Star Gelly Roll pen in an upward swooping pattern. Adding dots like this is a new thing for me, but I see lots of dots in my future! LOL It kind of reminds me of confetti bursting up from a new years eve popper, and I think it adds a little whimsy and ties everything together nicely.
