Love Without the Frills

I'm still on the quest to create Valentine's Day cards for my son's Army unit -- with a goal of 75 cards, I've still got a bit to do to get these in the mail by the end of the week so they have time to mail them back to their sweeties.
So these have to be quick, clean and fairly easy. No bling, glitter, ribbons or anything too fussy.... the military isn't too fond of lumpy envelopes. I used this stamp from Designs Unlimited to create several cards using this image.  Even with a bit of copics coloring, they were fast to make and I love this no-fuss, tailored look. Here's just one version.

Clean, simple, elegant... that's my take at least.

I'm entering this in these challenges...
PIO - Anything Goes
AIFactory - Anything Goes
SSDS - Anything Goes
Pixie Cottage - Fave coloring method
Craft Your Days Away - Anything Goes
Simply Create - Use punches
2 Sisters - Flowers
Copic Creations - Something New + Use Copics
Wags 'n Whiskers - With Love
Southern Girls - Totally Loved Up
Sassy Studio Design - Something old from your stash (stamp and sentiment)
Lexis Creations - Say it with Love
Bunny Zoe - Love is in the Air
Scrap Creations - Love is in the Air
Patties Creations - Anything Goes
Phindy's Place - Valentines or For a loved one
Stamp Something - Anything Goes (w/Stamps)

Thanks so much for stopping by, friends! Have a fantastic day.. I'll see you again tomorrow.
