I have one last Valentine’s day card to share with you for this year. I thought I was done but then I saw this image from Rebecca Parker of Wings & Willows and I knew I had to have him. This fabulous image is Dear Valentine. I decided to use him to create (another) Valentine’s day card for my hubby.
I did not have gray cardstock on hand so I cut the mats out of white CS and used my Copic markers to color the edges so it looked like the correct color. I created my own, custom rub on to add the text to the journal tab. If you are interesting in finding out more about this technique, you can find my tutorial here.
