These are some cards I'm getting ready to send by the first of the year. Valentine cards are due in early January. The background was inspired by a new collage stamp from Hero Arts. I made my own collage by stamping a butterfly, some office stuff, flourishes and text in the same ink color on a neutral background. I got a variety of looks. One was used on yesterday's envelope card and the remainder for these 'love' cards. It is a great way to use some of those stamps that might not be getting as much exercise as they once did.
Happy day! I think I'm going to be braving the stores with my aunt today after her doctor appointment. A determined lady in an electric wheelchair and her niece struggling to keep up :-) Wish us luck!
