i'm way behind on valentines day cards and this is a holiday for which i normally make quite a few. i've got to get on it in order to mail goodies on time to friends and family. where does the time go? to so much busy-ness i'm afraid. well anyway, in search of a mojo spark i decided to play with a favorite digital image from cs-designs. i made a card and an ATC both using this lovely image.
as always i've colored with pencils and here all else i've used are beautiful flower and bird stickers and decorative paper -- and a little distressing of course.
the story on the ATC above is that i made an error printing out the digital image on post card card stock and the "break" in the card stock cut the image in half. never one to throw anything away i decided to have the heart face peeking over the edge of the ATC. i used more decorative paper and more valentine themed stickers and such. i'm entering the ATC in the wicked wednesday atc blog valentine/love challenge.
don't forget we have a "heart" themed challenge over at cheerful stamp pad too!
oh i do love lovey dovey things.
and as always, love to all!
this blog is to chart my creative evolution with stamping, paper-crafting, mixed media and some other stuff i haven't figured out yet... on the theory that challenging myself to try new things and post them to the "world" will be good for me. and might also be good for others. my blog title is inspired by julia cameron's "the artist's way" and her admonition to fill the well.

Great salvaging for your ATC and such a pretty card.xx
Both the card and ATC are Fabulous Michelle. I Love how you colored my Expressive Heart 1 design. I also love your ingenuity in salvaging the image for your ATC. Things like this happen to me too and I think your idea is brilliant.
