Path of Positivity: For You

 

Hello

 Today is the start of the February challenge at the Path of Positivity.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. 

This year we are looking at the UNEXPECTED. 

Have you ever received a Valentine's card from someone totally unexpected? If you have, you'll know the joy that receiving a card like that can bring. For this month's option, make and send a handmade Valentine card to someone who won't expect it. You have the power to brighten someone's day!

Here is my card for a good friend. I don't normally send Valentine cards to anyone, other than my husband, so this will definitely be unexpected.

I kept my card quite simple and used kraft card for a natural look.

I was inspired by Tracy Evans, and I used her stamp and stencil. 

The stencilled heart (SS12 Heart) is coloured with Polychromo white pencil and edged with HB graphite pencil, smudged slightly to create a shadow. The flower (TE32 Alpha Florals) is stamped in pale ink, Antique Linen, and also coloured with Polychromos - resulting (I hope) in a no-line colouring technique. Some Vintage Photo inking was added to the background along with white paint splatters. I edged the kraft card with Brilliance white ink and stamped the sentiment onto white card, then adhered and added a shadow.

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations! 

Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!
