Boy, did I have fun coloring these with my copics. I researched vintage valentines on the internet in order to gain an appreciation of the color pallets back in the 50's! I tried to keep these cards simple because back then most were flat and focused on the image itself - not dimensional flowers or bows.
I couldn't help myself though - a touch of Martha Stewart glitter around the edge of the cutout heart, just for a little sparkle! Enjoy and Thanks for Looking.
These cards are 4.5" square

These are FANTASTIC!!! I loved getting these in school growing up in the 60's. Great job on the coloring also and the little glitter? No one can deny you some sparkle lol. Thanks for sharing these.
