Heart Smiles

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching.
How time flies!


I like to send valentines to the grandchildren.  They aren't little anymore and it gets
harder and harder to figure out what to do for them.

This Anita Jeram set had been sitting in my NBUS box for way too long and
worked perfectly for a valentine for my crafty grandson.

I stamped it with Copic friendly ink and colored with Copics.

I could see that these guys were gung ho on the painting so I took an 
itty bitty splatter stamp and added some paint splatter.

To add to the valentine theme, I punched a few hearts from a Brusho Background
 and glued them to the branches.  I have some of these tiny resin hearts in my stash
that worked perfectly to add a little something extra to the hearts and the mice.

Challenges:
Double D Challenge - Hearts
Inkspirational #282 - Mood Board below. I was inspired by the colors.
NBUS #47 - Never Before Used Schtuff - Stamps

 


Card Recipe
Stamps:  Love Art (Colorado Craft/Anita Jeram), Love Always (Stampendous)
Ink:   Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Smoky Slate
Other:  Copics, Heart Punches


Enjoy!

    So cute, Bonnie. Great idea to add the extra splatters. Those mice look like they're really trying to get the painting done before Valentine's Day.

    This is such a cute and fun image by Anita Jeram and great for your craft loving grandson Bonnie, and this will surely make him smile, and I love the hearts which have been added to the branches die cut from some leftover brushoed pieces. x
