Romance at Try It On Tuesday

Hi everyone, it's getting to that time of year when the shops are full of hearts and flowers but it's not the only reason for us thinking of 'Romance' as our new theme at Try It On Tuesday - Anniversaries happen all the time and what nicer than a 'just because' card or gift!
The Design Team have some beautifully romantic examples please take a look here.

I have made a Valentines card, hubby always gets me one and I must admit that sometimes he doesn't get one back - or if he does it's a hurried one!!!

I thought I would surprise him this time!!

 I used my stamping platform and a sticky note to add AALL and create's  Bipasha flowers, which I painted with Paper artsy fresco paints while still on the platform so that......

 I could restamp once the painting was done.

 Once I had done the flowers I mended the sticky note and stamped the birds (I masked off the 3rd bird and the writing with washi tape)

I stamped the bird onto more card and fussy cut them to make them stand out.

I followed my teamie Cath's example and coloured over the ink with polychromo pencils.

I doodled around the edge of the card and just mounted it straight onto the card.

All I have to do now is keep it hidden from my Valentine!!!

I do hope you can join us at TIOT, even if you are not sending a Valentines card, and you can spare some time for a little romance!
