I've had a chance to create a few more Valentine's Day cards this week. This first one is for my husband. I didn't want it to be all girly, so I used some blue and greens, but there are still hearts in the stenciled background! I stamped the bear on the card base and used a previously created mask so I could stencil in the background. I also stamped the scarf portion on a scrap of patterned paper and adhered it in place.
The second card is for one of my kiddos. They are all teenagers, but they are still my kiddos. For this one I used both the cutie bear and one of the adorable penguins from the same set. I also paper pieced their scarves as it is the perfect way to dress these little guys up!
