Have you done up all your Valentines cards yet? I'm doing really well this year and all my valentines and valentines gifts are out already. Yippee. I'm usually at least a week behind so I'm enjoying this moment.
Here is a card I recently did for Valentines (click on image to enlarge it) . I used an image by Penny Black that was sent to me by my Stampin Sistah Siberian Stamper up in the great white north. I loved this image so much that I found it online and bought it with the money I made selling all my extra stamp sets on ebay.
I used my prismas, stampin write markers to color the image. The PP is from Stampin Up Berry Bliss, and the cardstock is SU Real Red. The sentiment is from a Stampin up panel stamp that I cut apart to make various sentiments eons ago. I mounted the stamps on dominoes way back when. I found the dominoes are not sturdy enough with the way I mounted them for my liking so I am unmounting them all onto EZ mount. The Heart stamp I used is from the very bottom of my stamping drawer. I have no idea who makes it. I got it at Mikes in the $1 bin.
This next card is one I did at a Great Impressions class at Ink About it in Westford, MA I just love this card. The image of the peacock is another one I am adding to my wish list. The heart flourish I got as part of the class fee since it was the stamp of the month. I stamped the images with a black Memories ink and then colored in with copics, then I added glitter to some areas to give it some pop. I'll have to make this card again soon. I just love it.
Sorry about the scanning. I'm still working with my camera to get it working again. Hopefully in the next week. Enjoy!
These two cards are just adorable, I love the cat and I love this peacock.

I really like the cat image. So cute. The peacock has such nice colors. I finished my Vday cards 2 weeks ago. I only make 5. Seeing all these great ideas on everyone's blogs though makes me wish I needed to make more!

The red peacock is beautiful. That is not a typical image for Valentine's day, but that is what I love about it most. I love thinking outside the box.
