A simple design with a focus on this adorable stamp from Stamping Bella, Uptown Girl Catherine Nibbling Chocolate. I think it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day–and my two fashionable nieces, Jessica and Hayley.
For both, I stamped the image in black Versafine ink on white Bristol paper so I could use a little bit of watercolor but keep it bright. I used a combination of Distress Ink markers and gelatos with my water pen. Then I mounted the images with foam tape for a little dimension.
Hayley loves purple, so I colored her girlÂ’s dress with a purple distress marker, accented with a sparkly gold gelato. I like the untraditional color combination, mounted on a purple card base from Bazzill.
For Jessica, I went with a more conventional color combination of pink and red. It might be hard to see, but the pink gelato on her dress leaves a slight glittery sheen, which is really pretty in real life. I went with a simple white card base, though I think it would look cute with a pink card base, too.
I didnÂ’t bother with a sentiment, since I will write a ValentineÂ’s Day message inside. I wanted to keep the attention on the adorable girl with her yummy box of chocolates. It reminds me when I was a little girl and my dad with bring home heart-shaped chocolate boxes for his three little girls. We were so excited!
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day–and your own delicious goodies to eat. Thanks for looking!
