In my usual fashion, I combined the teaparty tickle and today's sketch. I wanted to go a different direction with the tickle but in the end, this turned out well. I had already stenciled the heart on the wc notecard with several Lindy's sprays. I added the curvy element at the top, cut a heart from an old store bought card I had received long ago (I have more of that card so I can make more Valentines), added two sentiments and some rose gold LP.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor from 161-180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last emperor of Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm and stability. I think we need to listen to Marcus Aurelius. Thanks for the challenges!

That is a really thought-provoking and uplifting sentiment. Stencilling with sprays intimidates me, I get too much bleeding but this this looks just beautiful.

Jean, you always come up with some amazing cards, and this one tops it all. I love the lace stenciled heart with all the surrounding textures and the cutout heart from an existing store bought card. your sentiment is over the moon with sheer delight and promise of a new day.
