Pretty Princess-Love

My youngest cringed when I came home with unicorn keychains for her class. The saga with valentine day cards continues. She is no longer at that stage where she dresses up as princesses, and play with dolls. Those days are bygone. Yet that mom in me still sees that little girl. Hence the princess card!

My Favorite Things Stamp, Pretty Princess, Rainbows &Unicorns, Heart Air Balloon, Loopy Love are included in this card.

I used two pieces of Solar White Neenah paper for the word, LOVE. I colored one piece with Kitsch Flamingo with a blending brush. After gluing the pieces together, I added Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter and Glossy Accents to make the word ,’love’ look shiny.

There are small details that I like about this card. I like the shiny crown made with Nuvo Glitter Drops, Honey Gold. In addition, the wheel on the carriage has two small dots from Nuvo called Bubblegum Blush.

Classroom set of Valentine’s Day Cards

Simon Says Stamp has a Big Book French Bulldog that is really, really cute. My youngest wanted to go to the store and buy cards for her class but in a cardmaker’s house?!!!!!I was deeply appalled. ‘NOOOOO’, I kept thinking. Are you kidding? My brain is configured to visual arts and an opportunity to make Valentine’s cards always makes more sense. I lead my youngest to the bin where all my Simon Says Stamp dies/stamps are organized by season. I pulled out several Valentine theme stand alone dies and Valentine theme stamps. My youngest decided on the French Bulldog and from there we designed this Valentine’s Day card together. Deciding to stayed within the brand of Simon Says Stamp, my youngest liked Hello, Beautiful stamp set. The sentiment, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ for the font which we stamped with Tim Holtz New Kitsch Flamingo.
