"Tis the Season!

. . .Valentine Season!

 

I went to the grocery store on the morning of December 26, and saw the stockers changing the candy shelves from Christmas candy to Valentine's candy!

 

Here's a Valentine I made for sale at Colfax's Spring City Vintage to put you in the mood for Valentine crafting:

The background bricks and tree are from Wendy Vecchi's Stamper's Anonymous line, as is the brown "splatter" on the tag background. I distressed all edges with Tim Holtz's Ranger Distress Ink (Vintage Photo). The little hearts within the bricks are hand drawn with a Copic marker.  The cute little couple ephemera is an old Valentine from the stash my friend Jane gave me from her own childhood.

 

 



Wendy Vecchi stamped card

Some considered Her Aloof, But She Was Actually Just Shy.

This card has the same Wendy Vecchi I stamped on yesterday's card (from the Studio 490 set Graffiti Art). I used the same paper-piecing technique, colored her with Copics, and added faux pearls.  The pink background is a piece of pink cs with a CTMH flower stamp image stamped all over it, overlapping. The sentiment is also from Wendy Vecchi, this time from the A Flair for Art stamp set. The B&T mat background is the same paper I used on the dress and hat. All the edges are distressed, I dress the black lines with a fine-tipped Sharpie, the pink flowers are from Recollections, and I added tiny faux pearls to the flower centers.
