TGIF!! What a week this has been! The first week of a new semester at school is always hectic and this one has been no different. I'm left with almost no voice and am completely exhausted. My bathtub is calling my name, but first I wanted to show you this cute card I designed for my techniques class last night.

| Cute Valentine's Card featuring the Friends Furever and P.S. I Love You Stamp sets. |
|
This card may look simple, but it sure took us a while to make last night! Starting with the background, we sponged layers of ink from the lightest to darkest shade on whisper white cardstock. The colours we used were pretty in pink, real red and cherry cobbler. Then we "inked" our circle stamp with bleach and stamped randomly all over. The ink instantly disappeared revealing the white cardstock underneath. Then we stamped with real red ink using the line-art heart image. The result was the sort of whimsical DSP-looking background. We then set to watercolouring the focal image using watercolour crayons and blender pens. I really love using the crayons to colour and need to do more of it! For the sentiment, we used a portion of one of the sentiments from P.S. I Love You for the "Love You" and part of one of the sentiments from Furever Friends for the "fur-ever" part. The result was a cute sentiment, perfectly suited to this card.
This is going to be my son's Valentine for my parents...they'll love it!
Now I'm off to that bath I mentioned...have a great weekend everyone!
