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!
Both cards are great! The Penny Black is adorable!!
The peacock is beautiful!

Those are adorable. I always love Penny Black stamps, but the peacock I think is my favorite! Could I do a stamped image swap with you??????

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.

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!
