My Valentine Card

I wanted a simple sentiment this year for my Valentine Card for my husband. I decided that a graphic heart image on a plain Kraft background would be perfect.  I sketched out the heart, and then used a Stadleder marker to darken the lines.  I tried filling the heart with a Prismacolor Artist Marker, but the colors ran, so I ended up using Prismacolor pencils instead.

 I know this isn't the fanciest card. I like the retro feel with the saturated color against the neutral cardstock. I like drawing my cards, it makes it personal, because they are truly a unique creation for the recipient.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentine

Oh Yes! There's a sketch! Keep Reading!

My youngest is a Girly-girl. She adores pink and all things pretty. We call her the pink princess, and she lives up to it. I enjoy this because my oldest is not at all girly, so I know my youngest comes by it naturally, despite, not because of, her mother. Of course when Valentine's comes into play, the pinker the better. I decided to make her a beautiful Valentine for tomorrow.  Budge is so funny when she gets any sort of card or gift because she is always extremely positive and excited.
