Artystamper has a wonderful new blog by the way , which I highly suggest that you visit! It is wonderful..
Anyway, the story behind this card is this...
My dad passed away of cancer at age 65 last April. I was talking to my mom last night, and she remarked wistfully that her 6 year old grandaughter/ my neice had given her a creation to hold all of her Valentines in. It's cute, said my mom, but I hardly expect that I will be getting any Valentines!
So - out came my stamp - and I used the same sketch and stamp that Artystamper ( aka Julia) had used sometime ago.... So - I have a Valentine for my mom!!! I feel so much better about that.
Thanks for looking ( if you can...I know the gallery is pretty wonky! )
Put diamond glaze on the heart, - the rest you can see...
