Here is what I did for Day 1

Paper tearing is fun as there is no right or wrong way to do it! I did a tone-on-tone background with a snowflake stamp and versamark ink. The image was colored with Memento inks and prismacolor pencils and popped with dimensionals. Added some pearls and doodled and there it is!

Be Mine

This will be my last Valentine's project for this year and I chose to play with the Hero Arts "A Natural Love" Digis. I bought this last year and never had the chance to play with it.

This month's theme is Love & Lace and a sketch challenge with a fun fold technique.

I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I went with an easel card and added the love & lace too.

The heart and patterned paper are from Martha Stewart's Valentine paper pad. The squirrels were colored with prismacolored pencils and I added some googly eyes. I also added some lace from my stash and the sentiment is one that I typed up "My Heart is overflowing with Love".

TIP: To make the banner sentiment, fold ends back on themselves to create the look.
