I have the rest of the family valentines to share today. All of them feature animals. And all of them qualify for the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: "All Creatures Great and Small" and the CAS-ology "Love" challenges.
The first card doesn't feature any stamps. I drew the hedgehog from an image I found online. Despite a search on Pinterest and Google, I haven't been able to retrace where I found it. If anyone can direct me to the original, I'd love to credit it. Sarah's a huge fan of hedgehogs so it seemed to be the perfect image for her valentine.
After drawing the hedgehog with a fountain pen, I use a combination of Copic markers and watercolors to color the image. The red and pink hearts make this card qualify for the Simon Says Monday "Red and Pink" challenge, as well. I made the frame by layering two Papertrey Ink "Stitched Rectangles" on Pure Poppy cardstock. It's all adhered to a Fog (Simon Says) card base.
The next card is for Adam. I purchased the W Plus 9 "Knock, Knock Valentine" set for future use with grandchildren, but I decided it would work for Adam when I discovered the iguana (TPC Studios) in my stash.
I stamped the sentiments, and layered it behind a Pure Poppy frame created with a Nestability Small Classic Rectangle frame, stamped and cut out the iguana and added it with some dimensional tape.
The last card was inspired by this card by Kathy Racoosin. I already had the "Quite the Pair" set from Simon Says and loved how she sat the frog on the paper airplane.
The heart was cut from some "Kiss, Kiss" patterned paper from Crate Paper that came in the February Simon Says card kit. The cardstock for the card base was also in the kit. The frog and the paper airplanes were stamped and cut out, and the clouds are die cuts from Papertrey Ink. I colored Mr. Froggy with Copic markers and added some googly eyes for fun.
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day. I'm delighted to be spending it with family!
